Forums - Nintendo - Splatoon is THE reason to get a Wii U!

I really want the game. The DEMO sold me. I doubt anything shown at E3 that releases this year will change that.

It's way too fun thanks to the gameplay, uniqueness and the squids.

I'm sorry to hear this, you're missing out on some cool games.

I just hope this doesn't end up as a slightly lower meta rating of Titanfall for Wii U.
Hyped to be the greatest new thing, review scores are good but not amazing, sells well and ends up with a small cultic online community.

No. Nintendo brought us with Wii U nothing new. Look at PS4 and Xbox One, this is Next Gen!


Note: Before you understand this wrong - Wii U is a good console with awesome games, no doubt. But I am missing features like recording gameplay or a trophy (or something else) system on Wii U. Wii U feels exactly like Wii imo. To answer the op - Spatoon is not THE REASON to buy a Wii U, but it is a good exclusive game.

You mean like what PC gamers have had for years, Cheevos were last gen and even then those aren't new.

Features aren't the must have reason to buy a console btw, that's you just being subjective.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Splatoon is just one reason in a long list of reasons to buy the Wii U.

I agree, I didn't expect Splatoon to be so much fun. I absolutely love the game!!

Current Reasons to buy a Wii U:

Mario Kart 8
Mario 3D World
Lego City Undercover
Bayonetta 1,2
Smash Bros.
Wind Waker HD
Hyrule Warriors
Splatoon
Captain Toad
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Arkham City Armored Edition
Wonderful 101
Deus Ex Director's Cut
Pikmin 3.

Every other game is icing on the cake.

Backwards Compatibility
Slowly growing (but nice) Virtual Console

Lowest price of all 8 gen consoles.

haven't bought these games but part of my wishlist - Lego City Undercover, Wind Waker HD, Captain Toad, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Wonderful 101, Arkham City Armored Edition

you've forgot DK: Tropical Freeze :)

i'll also try to check 3rd party games like NFS: MW and COD



I think the reason is ALL of the fun games that it has. Whether games like Wonderful 101 and Splatoon are your personally tastes or not, it's hard to argue against it's library. So far, it has more quality games than either PS4 and Xbox One.



true @alfredo. absolutely true.

on my perspective, my only plan this year is mostly XCX, FFXV and maybe Devil's 3rd. But after the Splatoon test fire. the game really is great and bought it day 1.

Nintendo should continue to market this game with demos on retailers. and those free-DLC maps and modes would also come in handy to have better legs. the game isn't perfect but content can be added and push the game to be better which can persuade other gamers.

Splatoon has like 900 viewers on twitch tv.
Its as valid a judgeing stick as any other... doesnt seem like that many.
Intrest in the game (veiwer wise) isnt as high any more as it was around launch. There was like 60k+ viewers for a few days there.

You guys think it will have long legs? or fade fast?


twitch relys hardly on streames. if a big streamer does stream the game it gets easily 50+ vies at once.

Scince wiiu have no build in twitch support there arnt to many popular streamer with a wii u. Wouldnt count on that
