After relying on their old IPs for ages, Nintendo released Splatoon, an unconventional, unique, fun shooter that proved Nintendo could still change gaming.
Nintendo has recently restored Wii U Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon online after five months of being offline.
Game Rant Writes "Mar10 Day is a fun yearly celebration of the Super Mario series, and Splatoon may warrant a fan-designated day of celebration in its own right."
Microsoft has now called on Nintendo and Google to aid in its fight with the FTC over its merger with Activision Blizzard.
I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point.
Sure, the company whose Play Store revenue you want to diminish will certainly help you in acquiring Candy Crush and COD Mobile.
Wow.... Microsoft is out of control over this matter. I can't help but wonder how many people are they bribing to get this?
Microsoft just stop dragging companies into your own mess if you did to them like you did Sony imo you need to give it up with performance Data. Also isn't Google against Microsoft?
No, Splatoon didn't change gaming. It used the same premise that has been used in multiplayer "shooters" for decades. The only thing it changed was give people with a WiiU something to do and talk about.
Might be a really good game, idk, but the design of the characters looks so boring to me. I haven't played overwatch, seems like a really boring game but the design there at least looks interesting
It's a decent fun game, but it can be really cheesy with spawn camping. Small maps, slow movement (when not a squid), limited player count, limited map rotation, only short matches. The game has a lot of flaws.
The motion controls are not all that with Splatoon. It 'works' (or doesn't) because of the limitations I describe above. If they wanted people to use these controls in any other mainstream shooter, you'd be destroyed.
It's a nice first attempt by Nintendo into the shooter genre, but let's face it... what they need to copy is Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare.... but with Nintendo characters. I've been saying this for years now.
Mario vs Bowser: Mushroom Kingdom Warfare. This thing would blow away Splatoon. A great use of all their IP's in a legitimate shooter game, still in cartoonish format Nintendo loves.
Splatoon isn't a real shooter like that.
A Mario vs Bowser would bring in people who love shooters, and help give someone a reason to buy a Switch. But, sadly Switch probably doesn't have the power to do this given the rumors of less then 400 GFlops circa 2008.
Whenever I play Splatoon it simply feels like a demo. There should be much more there, but there isn't.
Actually purchased this game earlier this year. I need to give it a go.
Splatoon is the funniest MP shooter Ive ever played.
This game straight up flushes other AAA shooters down the toilet
