That's a shame, lack of content? maybe it should have been a download only game $30 max?

Nintendo already announced ton of free content through the summer, for example every week or two new map and big update in August with lot of stuffs.

Splatoon is £30 on Amazon UK right now, strange that the US aren't getting the same price-point, and I think the content but can be balanced out by the free DLC that's coming in the near-future.

Yeah, that is odd.

Even if the DLC is free, I'm still uncertain whether or not it'll help balance it out.


Of course Its fair to say that the stuff in the DLC they'll release should be in the game at-launch, but he should've at least mentioned that DLC is goign to patch some of the holes of the game.

I think the price point will really hurt US reviews as I said a while back, because it's not really got the content to support that price tag. Doesn't mean it isn't a good game, far from it. But it will likely be a tough sell for a number of reviewers which would drag the metascore down. 



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Metacritic says that equals 82 but I didn't see a score anywhere in the review.

It is on the picture. 



The tl;dr sounds like what I was expecting based on previews. Lack of content, tacked on SP and no MP interaction will hurt it.

I dunno though, It kinda looks like a game that should be digital only, maybe that's just me though.

I will download it for 36 (or was it 35) Euro myself at the end of the week. So it's nearly there in Europe :p.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Obviously the lack of content at release will hurt the grades. The free dlcs coming weekly up until august when the big DLC will come will make the game fresh for the entire summer.

Though, I would have liked to have at least a few of the features at launch already.

somewhere between 75-85 I guess should most review be at.

Also, wonder why it is alot cheaper in Europe than in the US?

I got my collectors edition with the Squid Amiibo for 60$ which includes shipping..

You obviously didn't play Test Demo. :)

This very good AAA game and next big Nintendo IP, it just initial lacs some content (like more maps), but more content will be delivered every week or two.
