No, people will notice the squids which are colored in a very noticeable orange, the same color as visibility vests. There's a big one right above the text. They will also notice the colors and the game will stand out amongst all the grim and gray shooters.

I can speculate too.

Well then your point is meaningless since every game ever either looks like another colorful game or another gray game.

That moment you realize that they're spraying themselves with their bodily fluids.

No vivster, no! Are you aware this is the dirty thought that fueled thousands upon thousands of NSFW Splatoon images across the internet?

Don't spoil the other users!

I would have kept it a little more basic with just orange and blue ink on the cover, the green and purple are kind of an eyesore on the cover. Other than that, it's okay and certainly fits the game.

5.5/10

without the green/purple

7/10

You're free to have your opinion.   Sticky this thread and how about we all come back here when the game is out and see the sales results ;)

What opinions? What I said is simply fact. Also sales good or bad won't prove the box art had anything to do with it.

Eh.. I don't see anything wrong with that!

It's certainly eye catching, but it makes it look far too much like a "kiddy" game. Teens/adult who don't already know about the game aren't likely to buy it by looking at that :/

Will scare away any non-Nintendo gamer.
