Isn't the stylistic argument kinda funny when you consider that Mario games do gangbusters :P

For what it's worth, Splatoon seems to have legs in the States if Amazon is any kind of indication.  I will say that I thin the disparity of the marketing quality is partly to blame.  NNoA's quality was lower than any region and absurdly narrow in focus (not a single broad-demographic commercial).  Better than usual, still pitiful compared to other companies or even other sectors of Nintendo.

Yeah, marketing definitely played a part, as did the game being $60 in the US.

Will be very interesting to see how its legs play out in Japan vs the US though. We know it held up very nicely in its second week in Japan.

I expect similar sales for the near future.  Week 1 was very close to each other and legs are looking strong based on Amazon.  What I really want to see is if Nintendo is more willing to lower Splatoon's price faster.  I think a $10 price drop this fall would be a good way to lead in to the holidays.  Also, Nintendo where is that effing Wii U price drop?!  It's obviously needed NOW.  Here's hoping for a $50 price cut announcement at E3.  Not holding my breath though.

It got 136k in 2 days of sales.

Where's all the people who insisted I was wrong about it selling less in the US than in Japan first week?

Well we only 2 days for US numbers...

Spaltoon song tribute...

Lo Squid disse un giorno all'Inkling:
"Il pane per l'inverno tu ce l'hai!
Perche' protesti sempre per il vino?
Aspetta la vendemmia e ce l'avrai. "
Mi sembra di sentie mio fratello che aveva un grattacielo nel Peru',
Voleva arrivare fino in cielo e il grattacielo adesso non l'ha piu'.

Ritornello:
Finche' Inkling va lascialo andare,
Finche' l'Inkling splat tu non remare,
Finche' Inkling va stay freshhhhhh



Switch!!!

Not sure if it was already posted, but the upcoming Splatfest will have a three map rotation.

Is it know if it is only for the splatfest or there will be 3 maps also after The Splatfest's ending?

once there are more maps, i think it would be a 3 map rotation due to the blank spot we are always seeing.
