Zelda will join the party, mark my words, you will be able to play a co-op mode somewhat similar to that one of Bayonetta 2.

Well, I'd like to see that.


It's possible, Phantom Hourglass had online afterall!

I doubt they will advertise it much when their competitors have better online offerings for free aswell. I'm sure splatoon will be good like most ninty games but you should probably wait until you play it or it's reviewed before calling it amazing.


It looks amazing from what I've seen therefore I will call it amazing! I mean how they can go wrong at this point? All they need to do is add in more modes, arenas, weapons, show us the local multiplayer works, some other stuffs, and there you go!

What?

The ps3 and 360 have free online and way more and better online games than the Wii U. Also with next gen you get2 free games a month for your 5$ a month subscription plus 2 more on the ps3 if you have it. That's better than free online and no free games.

So you pay 5 bucks for two free games?

You do if you want to draw!


$300 to draw... worth it!

But seriously you're right that they definitely need to use all that awesome artwork I mean it's a free resource!

I've not watched any trailers of it yet but I believe you. Plus the fact that despite the small number of Wii U exclusives they mostly tend to be top quality

Free online for 3 games people will play competitively online? I'd be pissed if they charged for that too. There's at least 45 multiplayer games on PS4 and Xbox One each.

YouTube channels, tournaments and strong word of mouth will be vital for Splatoon to succeed. Nintendo has managed to turn Tomadachi Life into successful new IP, I think it can happen again with Splatoon.

And Yes, Mario Kart+ Smash+ Spatoon is a powerful online experience core for present and future Nintendo consoles.
