Congratulations.
Btw, no gyroscope is the best set for the controls.

No way! After Splatoon's gyro-aiming, I have a hard time going back to stick aiming.

Gyro-aiming is the inferior way to play. Period.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


Indeed truly great game and so much fun games, so deserves great sales. Splatoon on Switch in Japan will be huge.



Highest-selling? Dang. Happy for the game, but this doesn't bode well for Japanese console gaming.

You disappoint me.

I didn't like the game much, but good for Nintendo.

double post for some reason...

Then you made it a triple post instead of editing the second

There. You made me delete an image of a laughing Inkling... I hope you're happy.



It's incredible that, despite the doubts, that a new IP like Splatoon, a Wii U game that is a third person, online mutiplayer shooter, was able to capture the hearts and minds (and wallets) of people in Japan when so much of the gaming landscape has changed (and where the shooter genre hasn't been the most popular). Now we see merchandise, Callie and Marie concerts, tournaments, etc. for such a game. A great story and one game the Wii U can absolutely get credit for. It's pretty interesting that Splatoon may possibly outsell juggernaughts such as Persona 5, FFXV, MGSV, KH3, DQXI (PS4 only, I mean) etc. LT in Japan.

Not true tbh, I've found it better to use the Gyro aiming over analogue especially in competitive matches where more precise aiming is key.



Good, one of the few things nintendo got right this gen.
