He was talking about Federation Forces, trying to bullshit us that fans were wrong about Splatoon and that they are wrong with Federation.

"Take for example Splatoon, he said.

Splatoon, a new sort of shooter unveiled at last year's E3 based on an entirely new IP, didn't receive an entirely positive reaction at the show. At least not initially.

"Splatoon is a game that people are loving right now, but if you rewind to E3 last year, Splatoon was being viewed as, 'Yes, it's innovative and it's different, but the controls are a little hard and I don't understand the mechanic of turning into a squid and going through the ink.' There were all of these complaints. But now you look at the finished product and the satisfaction is huge." "

1) First of all, never heard any NIntendo fans talk badly about Splatoon, especially not as much as federation. Second of all, we asked for like 10 years to Nintendo to give us something in the line of a competitive shooter, and now he goes on and tries to say that we needed to be convinced?

2) I mean it's typical Nintendo: " fans don't know anything, we (Nintendo) are always right, we don't care about your opinion, here is another game with mario doing some kind of sports, buy it. F zero? Starfox? Metroid? The interest isn't high enough for these IPs. See we released an awful Metroid and crappy Starfox, both sold poorly, we were right all along! Now go buy the last kirby game that plays exactly the same as the onereleased on SNES 25 years ago"

3) Seriously, I'm out, buying a PS4pro with Horizon, they can shove Animal Crossing and Mario Sport Mix into the throats of their loyal "fans", I had 15 great years with Nintendo, 5 ok ones, and 5 bad, not signing for 5 more.

1) Honestly, I never heard anybody say something negative about the controls in Splatoon, either. I really don't know where he got that from. In fact, the only complains I remember where coming from shooter fans critisizing the lack of voice chat. But look at Splatoon now, 99% don't give a fuck about it because the game is build so it doesn't need one. And honestly, I prefer it that way by a mile. If I look at other communities, I can safely say that Nintendo made the right decision:

2) Then you critisize them milking it's franchise, but why don't you critisize all others as well? It's not like we get Last of Us 2 just because Naughty Dog wants to make their fans happy. All companies try to create long lasting franchises that can be exploited. But the way I see it, this may be just me, is that Nintendo doesn't exploit them just to make a quick a buck, but rather to test new ways of gaming. It's up to you to like that or not. You don't owe them anything and if you don't like their experiments, they are not forcing you to buy them. On the other hand, most other companies rehash all the same old stuff because they play it safe. They have much less innovation in their games. Nintendo knows that it could farm much more money in the short run, but their goal isn't quick cash. This is something that many gamers either don't know or refuse to accept. But you're a veteran, Max, you probably knew that.

3) Bye, happy gaming, best wishes.

The Splatoon was typical PR from Nintedo. They make a strawman and attack it. Nobody's going to question Reggie anyway.

Nintendo tests new gameplay with their in-house games, 1) all the outsourced games are just made for a cash-in. 2) There's Mario and Mario that, and even the NSMB series have turned into cash-ins.
