Forums - Nintendo - Is Splatoon worth full price yet?

The rotation is not that bad of a thing, it forces you to get good at maps you may not otherwise play as much and you start to become a better all around player.

If you're not playing this on Wii U, just what the hell else is there to play? It's not like this year is teeming with new releases.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is a very long game! And Europeans and Japanese have Yoshi too. Now that's another game I can't wait for... Next to X. I wish I was rich.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Dumb argument is dumb. That 90% is not trashing the wiiu, they are not saying "you don´t buy the console because is trash" NO, the 90% is made of people that:

 1. Don´t play any console anymore. (like 50%)
 2. Didn´t know that wiiu was a new console until recently
 3. Are inseccure about the future of the console
 4. Don´t want to spend 300$ because Nintendo consoles have always been cheap and they are waiting for the price cut
 5. They were waiting for Zelda.
 6. They think the console is trash
 7. They are going to buy the console at some point.

Soi don´t try to use that as an argument because only a small group actively dislike the console, and if you want to trust the opinion about the console that people who has never played the console has instead of the opinion of people who has the console, then you are not being very smart there.


Nobody is waiting anymore anything about this console. Keep that in mind and do again your comment.

Because now is too late, the damage is done, the wiiu losed the third party support because all of that and now NX looks to be too close to spend 300$ on the console, but still there is at least a 5 - 8% of the Wii userbase that will buy the console with time, but that doesn´t mean that the rest thinks is shit, as I say before around 50% are not even interested on consoles anymore, the rest have different reasons and SOME of them thinks is shit, not the 90%, that´s completely false.

With the latest patch, I think its definitely closer to being worth the $60 price tag than it was at launch. I'd say its worth $50, but that's mainly because its hard for me to justify most games being $60 simply because its a retail release.

Differents reasons that are valid. All of them.

Yes they are, but they don´t make the console a shit, and that doesn´t transform the 90% of wii owners that doesn´t have a wiiu into wiiu haters or detractors.

That 90% are just mostly people playing games on smartphones nowadays, it wasn't an audience Nintendo could hold.

Well this argument shouldn't exist. If he wants to wait until the game is cheaper then he has every right to do so and that should have no effect on anyone else so you need not care.

If 90% of the people is saying that is worth the price but for some reason and you only trust 10% people that says it doesn't, you are very negative and not objective at all.

I we had reverse situation, 90% of people saying that does not worth price and only 10% saying it worth and you trust those 10% you would be very positive and not objective at all.

In any of those cases you would make bad choice and you cant be objective at all based on those people opinions because you are doing contrary of what vast majority of people is saying to you.

90% of the Wii userbase decided that the Wii U was not worth, yet the other 10% disagree. Whom is right?

The Wii was mostly bought by casual gamers who probably don't give a damn about any of those 3 current gen consoles. Some of them might game on PS4 or XB1, but they are most likely playing CoD and all that.

Not same thing, you cant compare whole platform with single game.

When I buyed Wii U didnt look at sale numbers or what other people thinking about console, I looked at Nintendo Wii U games. But in this thread thing is about Splatoon, and you looked here for opinions and you choose only opinion in whole thread that saying that game worth $20, which is ridiculous, game is becoming best Wii U game and one of the most played game for Wii U owner just 2-3 months after releasing.

...game is becoming best Wii U game and one of the most played game for Wii U owner just 2-3 months after releasing.

That's because there's not much else to play on the system. For me, the game got dull after about a week. Having only 2-3 maps in rotation at a time, along with the lack of voice chat, really damages the fun factor. In its current form, I can only play Splatoon for about 20 minutes before getting bored, which is what I think Nintendo had intended anyway. It's a good game, just not $60 good.
