it's getting attention for the same reason TW101 grabbed attention...
...you can practically count the number of upcoming wiiU games on one hand.
Sunset Overdrive is getting a TON of attention for the exact same reasons as Splatoon. In fact the only difference is that Sunset was announced last E3 and we saw gameplay a few weeks pre-e3, if we hadn't it would be getting talked about as much as Splatoon is.
In essence, Splatoon is getting attention because:
1) New IP
2) Played very well on the floor
3) Looks great
4) Original idea and presentation
5) Complete surprise
The fact that it's a Nintendo game just marks the quality people expect of it; if it was by another dev/ on another console, odds are it'd be a throwaway 'kid' game which sucked.
I think it would get even more attention if it wasn't just on Nintendo console.
Yeah more than likely, but the game still looks awesome and its a new IP so the more attention the better! I just hope this game doesn't go the COD route with a new game every single year :s it probably won't but ugh

Your one hand is freakishly over fingered
It's not just here, everywhere people are hyped for that game.
Simply put, it looks like a lot of fun.
Something...Something...Games...Something

Splatoon is no where near games like The Division in scale, depth or ambition, yet the amount of excitment (mostly on this forum) is surprising for a game like Spatloon. is it just because its a TPS from nintnedo? honestly it doesnt seem like all that, it seems more of a PSN/Eshop/XBL type of game, not that there is anything wrong with that.
if this game was an XB1 or PS4 game it would have been vastly overshowded by other bigger and more interesting games. at least thats my opinion. |
Hype is interest. And naturally things that differ more from the usual get more interest. Splatoon differs more from usual games than Destiny. Additionally it looks like fun, looks like it has decent quality. I assume, if made right people could clock in way more playtime with Splatoon, than with Destiny and will have fun all the time. So the hype isn't completely unjustified.
And yes, a shooter from Nintendo-platform adds to the hype (although it's not the first one), as this sparks additional interest. Also the competition on WiiU isn't the same as on the other consoles, so the game stands out more.
But in the end hype/interest is one thing. People mostly express interest for new and different stuff, but prefer to buy the same old same old mostly. That's why I expect Destiny to sell better than Splatoon in the end.

| Twilord said: I find it downright disturbing how people these days think unconventional and cartoony games should be eShop titles. Games like Splatoon and Sunset Overdrive are what their genre REALLY needs. Just remember, Pikmin and LBP would have been deemed as for digital release only by many if they came out today. |
This!
I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!
Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
| Gintoki said: Nintendo making a new IP is interesting, they are taking the shooting genre to the opposite of what division shows, cel shading style, painting idea(so not really KILLING people), yet looks more fun than division which will probably get a lot of people disappointed like Watch_Dogs, Ubisoft hype their games a lot to make them sell, while Nintendon't.(Okay that's what caused some low sales on Wii U) but with Splatoon Nintendo prouve they can explore every genres and makes them interesting while staying in their spirit. |
Cel Shading? What I saw so far didn't look like Cel Shading, could be wrong though. Do you know more?
