I'm gonna go with a nice, solid 85. You should put all predictions in the OP.

The fact that not all content will available at launch will have a negative impact on review scores I think. Sure they might take it into account that the extra content will release soon and be free, they won't award extra points for content they haven't played yet.

For example that online tower mode looked awesome and might have contributed to a higher score but it won't in a scenario like this. Same for more technical maps and additional online options. Voice chat might cause a couple of points to be substracted as well.

I say 83

(For me personally it looks to be a 9/10 though)

70-75 would be my guess. Lack of content and critical features like voice chat and 4 player local play means it's score is going to be pretty low for a lot of reviewers.

This whole "lacking content" reminds me of Killer Instinct. Amazing gameplay, with the promise of more characters/modes in the coming years, ended up with a 73 due to lack of content at launch. Shame really.


i was thinking the same thing.  Only thing is, KI was $20 where as Splatoon is full price.  But i always said it was a mistake for critics to review KI off the content like that considering within a year people was going to look back on it and think, wth this deserves so much better.

Still hoping people go back to reviewing it once Season 2 is over.  Deserves 85-90 honestly

Lol. It will not be getting a 70.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

High 70s to low 80s.

77, most likely due to lack of content

One problem: Splatoon is a $60 game. 

Not in Japan and Europe. Japan + Europe is a bigger userbase than the US.


That's super weird. Has there ever been a game that cost full price in one region but not in other regions? Why did they do that? Is it because they think it'll be a hit in NA regardless of price? I don't get it.

Personally, the lack of voice chat kills my interest in this game far more than a lack of content.  I don't understand why they wouldn't include something so vital in a team based game that has a lot of elements of cooperation in it.  It was the final nail in the coffin for me...
