It looks really interesting, but I wish there was more modes/multiplayer options. It's a great job for a new IP, but time will tell if they fix the problems, get more creative, and out-do themselves in the sequels.

Knowing Nintendo's track record, it's more likely than not that they'll do just that.

In the meantime, I'll get the game and reward Nintendo for actually taking a risk.

That's cool and all, but are you a kid or a squid now?

Sounds like CoD 

Truth be told ... COD must be a fun game. If it wasn't it would've fizzled out as a franchise 6 or 7 years ago. 

It's a fun, simple shooter that has some addictive multiplayer mechanics, it's the perfect "I just had a hard day at work, now I want to crack open a beer and play some multiplayer". 

I get it even though it's not a game I play. Game fans are too wrapped up in every game having to be a Picasso or something. Sometimes you just have an itch and want to scratch it, and COD does that. 

Truth be told, Nintendo should make their "own" COD FPS shooter. Doesn't neccessarily have to be a military based shooter, but something competetive, online, multiplayer centric with fluid controls and a slight arcadey tinge to the gameplay wouldn't be a bad way to go. 

You played 7 hours straight? if so, that means that the lasting appeal that you experienced might be tiredness. I'm sure that would have a weird lasting appeal everytime a I play a game for that long.

I hope they don't add blood in the game cus I suffer from hemophobia like most Nintendo fans :S

lol. There are subtleties to the game that you won't experience in a regular 7 hour playthrough. You won't discover the intricacies of the maps, power ups, weapon selection and loadouts and what they can do. A power up you never thought of becomes your biggest weapon without realizing it. A weapon you hated at first becomes dangerous in your hands. You probably didn't even get a chance to talk with Spike and upgrade the slots on your armor or reroll your gear or anything. Not to mention having him steal gear for you. I have more fun as a level 20 than I did starting out. Its a shame you won't be able to experience the max level stuff.

Splatoon is essentially Call of Duty which is itself not a bad thing at all. Call of Duty gameplay is a familiar, tried, and tested formula and Splatoon is just an interesting variation and a Japanese perspective on said formula. Big, tough soldiers are replaced by cute little squids and Japan seems to be all for it judging by sales numbers.

You know what they say: variety is the spice of life.

What immediate reaction are you referring to exactly?

why is everything "Nitendo fans this, sony fans that, ms fans this" people are individual and that mindset is kinda wack.

game is awesome, beat the story mode twice, completed all amiibo challenges, now just need to hit level cap in multiplayer :O
