Splatoon 2 wiil be a blockbuster.

A squid sisters spin-off game doesn't sound like a bad idea after seeing this video

Restrictive map rotation.

Restrictive mode rotation.

No voice chat.

No pro controller support.

Terrible local multiplayer.

No split screen local multiplayer versions of online modes.

Only four online modes.

Poor friend invite system.

No pro controller support.

Can't switch load out mid match or during match making.

Can't view teammates' load outs during match making.

Can't adjust aim sensitivity mid match.

The aiming reticule isn't stationary.

Callie and Marie unskippable updates.

Weapons, armor, and single player content hidden behind Amiibo paywall.

Still criminally overpriced for the content provided. Splatoon doesn't need more weapons - It needs more maps and modes.

No pro controller support.

No pro controller support.

It actually blows my mind how mind-numbingly forgiving people have been with this game when any other game that still had this quantity of such severely crippling issues half a year off would have been ripped apart relentlessly. Mario Kart 8 wouldn't have lasted its first week if it launched in the condition that Splatoon is in currently.

The creator of Hunter X Hunter is playing it rather than finishing his fucking manga. :/

Splatoon is more fun than Mario Kart (runs). The game is designed the way it is for a reason, to make it more open and accessible. There's a design focus here and the game IMO is better for it. Everyone has the same rules. I like the "just shut up and play" approach. 

It's like complaining that Pokemon doesn't have the story or in depth systems of a Final Fantasy or Elder Scrolls game or something. Splatoon is not trying to be Call of Duty in the same way a Paper Mario game isn't trying to be Final Fantasy or Smash Brothers isn't trying to be Street Fighter. 

Talk about unrealistic beauty standards.

At this point, Splatoon has even more chances of growing as the next big franchise for Nintendo. If Splatoon 2 becomes something similar to Smash Bros. Melee, evolving the gameplay and features, then it can bring in even more people in. Though I wonder how will they implement the controls since the gamepad was pretty well utilized in the original. The controls and feature from the pad made the gameplay intuitive and fun.

I rolled my eyes seeing this thread because no duh this thing went out of control in Japan.
...
Then I clicked a video. You're right this is absolutely insane. Nintendo really struck gold with this one.

Fucking awesome mangaka, I put him tied up their with oda (one piece) 

Unlike oda, the man literally dying to pls his fans, HxH author is a lazy fuck

I mean, it's the perfect recipe for success in Japan. Squids/tentacles + little girls = big bucks.

I never quite expected Splatoon to make so much noise but it clearly found an audience.
