Yea but that's a hell of a lot more content than a few modes and probably a pretty short "story" mode if there actually is one.

True. On the other hand though, I see people play Call Of Duty & Mario Kart online for months...

Splatoon won't be any different...


Yea I've never understood that personally, THAT to me is the very definition of repetitive.

I agree. Normally, with those types of games, I play them for a little while and then go back to them later. I can't play them month after month for 8 months straight like I've seen.



a possible success...!in my native country,where there are a lot fps fans...are praising splatoon...although splatoon its a tps:P



It's still early, but I predict it will be a hit. Somewhere between 2 and 3 million.

The game is new, it's different, it looks like a refreshing take on what is a very tired sub-genre. I imagine it will appeal to a number of demographics, and to players of all skill levels.

I know I can't wait to play it.



I think it will sell over 5m

I like optimism and all, but that is pushing it @.@ I think it'll break 1mil lifetime, but it will take a year or two and I would be happy with that.

it could evolve into a higher selling series, like how Animal Crossing started out kinda low but now it is a catalyst for system success (especially handheld)

I think it could have success in games further down the line, but 5 mil for a new IP on the Wii U...just seems a bit much. Is your 5mil figure for the game or for the franchise?

Well I don't but so far, it seems like a smaller title than a full AAA game. It could change but obviously I am basing it based on the info I have now


I'm hoping it comes out and has this super serious tone like Battlefield to spoof games like that.
