This is one of the reasons why the NS is being made. Nintendo is moving with the times it seems.

What times? Nintendo does their own thing.

Yes and No. They are now currently moving in sync with a mobile social experience away from the home/living room. With the wii they were a bit ahead, but now it would say they moving in sync or a bit behind. We'll see when the NS launches to be sure.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Hooray, the sales potential for Splatoon 2 is simply amazing!

We will first wait for good sales of Splatoon port/remaster for Switch. :D

True that, I just hope that we won't have to wait too much for Splatoon 2 to come out.

Well if Splatoon port/remaster is Switch launch games for 1st year games, most likely we will wait at least around 3 years for Splatoon 2.

Well looks like the home front is solid for at the Switch, time for Nintendo to make sure the western front is ready.

Still good for Splatoon and Nintendo. Glad Japan has taste



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Hopefully the users here didn't get confused. Especially how impossible that sound.

by comparison new super mario bros wii sold 4.7 million. Splatoon would be ranked #10th place if it were put into last gen. I guess if Nintendo was the leader this gen we would see better sales at the top.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

And to think a lot of us here think it would either flop or not reach a million.

Hell I thought it would of sold 750K copies.

I knew it was going to be a success since the very first time I saw it, most people here simply have no vision at all, that's why Switch gets so much negativity, in 2 year they will look the numbers and feel just as stupid as they felt with Splatoon.

Quite often I find that there's a serious disconnect between opinions on here/NeoGAF and reality/mass market. With that being said, it's hard to knock someone for being a hopeful skeptic in regards to the switch.

 

Also also, splatoon is a friggin monster
