This is Nintendo we're talking, so nope! 

Isn't that what Call of Duty does.  I know they always add in new playlists after launch and I remember Ghosts getting a new game mode for free.

I was hoping for a capture the flag mode :( With opposite team using oposing color to slow down the flag carrier.

I don't think it's being rushed. It just Nintendo being afraid as usual of the 21st century.

Seriously, a multiplayer focussed game with only one mode and no communication? So I'm supposed to run around with 3strangers every game like headless chicken doing random things while having no idea what my partners are planning in their heads. That does'nt sound fun Nintendo!

I wouldn't say that it's being rushed. The decisions to restrict communication just seem to be made to make the game kids-friendly.

Nintendo can't do online games, this is one of the thing that don't make me buy a WiiU

What "whole lot more," exactly? One online, local, and single player mode each is not worth $60. Nearly every multiplayer shooter has numerous online and local modes. Titanfall is the only one off my head that's only multiplayer. That's not something to brag about. That's something to be ashamed of.

$60 for three modes in an online shooter is not "reasonable." Nintendo's reasonability in other games is clearly not being applied here.

Wow, so much butthurt in this thread.

Splatoon was playable at E3 last year, and likely won't release until late May (MK8 slot), so is in no way being rushed. The one gamemode (in online 4v4) is probably to make sure that people don't struggle to find a match. Remember this is a brand new IP. At this point in time it could be a MK8/Smash scale hit or a W101 flop, or probably somewhere in between.

If its popular enough then Nintendo will probably do a DLC map pack, and an update to add game modes. But at this point in time they want the game to be as good as possible, and if it's impossible to get into a game of your chosen mode then your enjoyment of the game overall is going to suffer.

COD doesn't have only one multiplayer mode, though. Adding one new free multiplayer mode for them is adding a tiny fraction of the overall content provided. This is literally adding a third of what they're offering in a $60 game for free.

@Bold: That would mean this game lacks ambition to resort into that test model.

@Underline: That means this game is actuallly being rushed because they don't have time to add and polish more modes they think people will enjoy.

I'm sorry but CoD is not worth $60 + the extra $40 that is optional, but most idiots pay for it anyway.

Destiny is not worth it. There isn't even a story for that godforsaken game.

Don't even get me started on games like FIFA. Same game, play soccer, woohoo. Practically nothing new in those games and those are definitely not worth the $60. If the statement of "games Nintendo makes aren't worth the $60" then it has to be applied to all others, not just Nintendo. They are the least lazy ones.

None of the shooters out there are good. I'm sorry. Online mode, Campaign mode and Local mode along with customization and etc is definitely worth the $60.
