My worry is will I only get 6 years of content out of Splatoon since that's an online only game?

It's not.
Firstly it was announced months ago so you shouldn't be surprised.
Secondly WELCOME to modern gaming. At least it lasted longer than some other games ie some sports games like FIFA close within the gen so they force you to upgrade.

Six years is not enough for you?

not for us retro gamers. we should have the ability to play forever. Hence why I hate some xbox/playsation games. and the direction the industry went in general.
Then again as long as their is local multiplayer all good.
All GameSpy supported online services got shut-down. Nintendo, EA, and many others that had their game running on GameSpy infrastructure got affected by this.
Just buy a WiiU for $200 from the Nintendo Online store (refurbished are $200). Once you transfer your Wii stuff to the WiiU, you can go trade it in/sell it for another $40 or so. Keep your controllers which you can continue to use on WiiU
Trade in some Wii games (that still surprisingly hold up their value), and buy Mario Kart 8. Basically if you wish is to play Mario Kart online, it really shouldn't cost you much if you are willing to be a smart consumer.

if you really play "retro games" so you don't play on-line

Now tell me how we're supposed to play together on that 3DS :P
The only solution is that Wii U thing, which is harder to find in Poland than an XO, which hasn't even launched yet :/ Damn it. Hate stuff like that. This is how gaming dies :(
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Well, it would be kind of sad for it to be pretty much absolete. At least with MK and Smash you can play local multiplayer or single player. Unless Splatoon has singleplayer and local multiplayer. I'm not 100% sure.

How does the free game on e-shop exactly work? And till when?
