I hope they add Dhalsim as playable character, either as a bonus for completing the game 100%, or by buying ultra street fighter 2.
One old fighting franchise helping a new one, why not?

You mean Overwatch. :P

Splatoon filled a void in nintendos catalogue with a genre that was solely missing, a true "nintendo" style shooter. Fighting games we have Smash though.

Basically no, I don't think it will be the next Splatoon.

I swear if this game sells millions and great third party games barely reach a million, Ill fucking scream from my rooftop to third parties to stay the fuck away from the Switch...

No need for that, they're already avoiding it like the plague.

It looks fun, though I won't be getting it at full price.. not sold on it yet, but it does look promising

doubt it will be the next Splatoon though

I don't understand why Splatoon sold so well, but nope i don't think so.

Also i don't see Splatoon 2 selling as well as the first.

Because it filled an empty niche; Nintendo didn't have a shooter of their own before Splatoon, and it appealed to a lot of people who were burned out on realistic/futuristic military shooters by offering something fresh and unique.

It'll do well for a fighting game. It doesn't have to do Splatoon-like numbers to be considered a breakaway success since fighting games don't have as high of a sales ceiling as shooters; if it does close to 2m, it should be guaranteed a sequel. I like what I've seen of the game and think it has enough distinction to stand out from popular fighting games like Smash, Street Fighter, Tekken, KoF, Mortal Kombat and Marvel vs. Capcom. It has casual appeal because of motion controls (while still offering standard controls), looks very accessable and fun, it looks like it has enough of a metagame for core gamers and it has a visual style that we haven't seen in fighting games since maybe Power Stone to help it visually stand out from the crowd. As long as Nintendo can deliver the content, advertise it well and not drop the ball horribly like Capcom did with SFV, it should sell fine. The only real knock I have on it right now are the really generic names like 'Spring Man' and "Master Mummy".

Looks easy to get boring tbh.
