Depends on the price... If its < $30, then yea, but if its a full priced game, then no


Your kidding right? This game will be more original, with a better story, a whole lot more unique art style, and a lot more interesting gameplay style than call of duty yet it should sell for $30 less? Are you kidding me? It's not an indie game. It's a legit first party game.

Really? It doesn't seem like that big of a title to me... Sure, its 100% more original than anything like Cod but it still seems a lot smaller than what Nintendo outputs. When we get more info, it might change my mind but as of right now, I am not seeing anything $60 worthy. I am not saying its not gonna be fun or anything cause I am sure it will and I will most likely buy it when it comes out but $60 seems too much atm unless they show us something more cause so far, all I have seen is that its a 4v4 shooter with an unique twist and thats about it. I believe someone said that there is going to be single player but till I get more info on that, I say <$30


I agree 100% with you.

I dont understand the pessimistic comments.

It's like the Wii U's situation is permanently stuck in pre-holiday 2013 mode for many people.

It's selling major software, what else has changed since?


Higher install base, shifting perception of Nintendo and the Wii U, the games are finally coming, and Nintendo's advertisers getting better at thier job as of late, at least when it comes to promoting the games (Bayonetta 2, Tomodachi Life, Hyrule Warriors, MK8 etc are definitely being promoted better than Wonderful 101 ever was). Thinking that the Wii U wont be in an even better position by early-ish 2015 is just crazy.

People are saying Splatoon wont sell well  and using things from summer 2013 as examples. Like honestly.

Install base is slightly higher, and it's in a better position. That's only due to Nintendo's big hitters finally releasing + how bad the situation was in the first place. This game isn't one of those established franchises, so I don't think you can put it into that group.

There is a chance for this game to hit over 2 million ...

However many VG-Chartians there are oddly excited about this game minus (PS4 games plus Xbox One releasing within that timeframe) minus Zelda U hype multiplied by Xenoblade sales divided by incompetent Nintendo marketing...

I'd say 155,000 Ltd

I'm not putting Splatoon into any group, I'm saying the Wii U's situation last year compared to now and especially compared to 2015 are so different that some people's comments seem overly pessimistic.

See what I mean? We'll never get out of Summer 2013

It all depends of the price. People pay full price for Titanfall, even without a single player mode. But pay full price for Splatoon or even getting a Wii U just to play it? Nah, just, nah. But even if it's not a hit, it will succeed.

Sony thinks it is a game.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I think the multiplayer is gonna be extremely repetitive. Does it have singleplayer? because as of now i think it's not worth its $60 price tag like Titanfall wasnt.

I think this as well. I mean it's a fun mechanic but how many modes can you really offer and how different from other shooters will it really end up being? How much customization can you offer? Etc. etc.

They spent more money on MK8 advertising than on a game that was never going to make money. I don't think you really have much to say there's a complete 180.
