This is by far the best :)!
It kept in my Wii U(i have a physical copy) for a long time until Xenoblade came out.
Now I have to switch them everyday to play!
digital master race bruh, i change games with a single move of my finger
A great, brand new IP getting the sales it deserves, well done splatoon
Great to see new IP's doing well this generation, specially when others like Codename S.T.E.A.M hasn't. There's no doubt that they are going to make another Splatoon game for their next home console and tbh I would like to see one also for their next handheld. I'm sure it have the hardware power to do so.
Actualy I'd prefer Splatoon to remain a HC focused game: lately with FE and AC we've seen too many IPs moving to the handheld and the HC lineup is hurt by that...
That's extremely surprising to me! Too cool.
Hopefully it motivates Nintendo to create new IP going forward because it's obvious when they want to, they still have the magic touch.
Awesome
Nice!
The amount of crow this game has served me is over... you know what.
