On Splatoon’s success/new IPs…

Moffitt: You’re probably right. That could have been under Mario. We love the fan response to Splatoon. It’s gotten off to a fantastic start worldwide. It’s driving console sales for us. It’s generated Wii U momentum, and that’s momentum we’re going to carry through to Super Mario Maker, Star Fox, Animal Crossing, Amiibo Festival, and beyond.

I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to play the game, but I loved the comment coming out of E3 last year. “Who would have thought the number one FPS game at E3 would be developed by Nintendo?” The reaction we’re getting from our fans is, “It’s a great game I can play, but I also finally have an FPS game that I can play with my son or daughter and feel good about it.” You still have all the fun elements of strategy in that game, of weapon selection. There are new maps being released, new content being released every week for that game.

It is a new IP that we believe has a bright future. I’m convinced that game is going to have a great holiday. A lot of fans are reading and hearing about it now. They’re going to want to get in and play that game. It has different modes that appeal to different kinds of gamers. It’s a pick-up-and-play FPS for people who haven’t played an FPS before. It allows you an easy on-ramp. But the ranked mode is as hard as it gets for core gamers that want an intense experience. The four-on-four multiplayer is where the game shines, but the single-player mode is getting a lot of positive buzz as well. There’s a lot to be unlocked and enjoyed and appreciate in that game.

Good to hear :)

Whenever someone refers to Splatoon as a FPS, I cringe.

Regardless, it's great to see the game so successful when so many people underestimated it (including me).

same too

Well at least something positive.

There have been a lot of positive things, actually.

I guess he means something positive since the tragic Direct yesterday. 

The game deserves it :)

Now, I hope this terrible conference doesn´t kill that little momentum for wiiu, but i´m not sure. At least the game is not going to stop anytime soon.

Ehh the presentation wasnt terrible as in amount of games but more dissapointing especially how they announced a spin off metroid prime and a free to play ac party game. :P

If those were animal crossing u and prime 4 then everyone would be prasing it.

No numbers though.
