Prepare to dye
Nintendo is generally relatively circumspect and cautious when introducing new IPs, but considering the pedigree the company has to uphold it's understandable that it doesn't wish to dilute its iconic brand with a torrent of forgettable franchises. Splatoon is unusual in that sense, then, and it's a game that brings a huge amount of...

Please Understand, we want Splatoon in 2014!
I just saw this listed on Amazon as a retail game??? I really loved the trailer and think it'll be an awesome game...for like $15. I cannot see the justification for this being $54.99.
@Jetset Thanks buddy! I'm looking into this
I'm really excited to play this game! Can't wait!
Is this going to be full retail or an Eshop title? I imagined this and Mario Maker being Eshop exclusives since... they just seemed like it... It might be because of Steel Diver Sub Wars.
Is It Out Yet? ;w;
@Obito_Sigma Digital + Retail, but it's a full game like Mario Kart 8 and stuff.
@Technallergy Nope, 29th May is the release date.
HYPED.
@Technallergy Nope, it's out on the 29th.
I get my copy tomorrow!!! Can't wait!!!
Be sure and friend me, we can have some good squid battles!
Greate game but we need more maps.
Happy Splativersary, squids!
I purchased Splatoon launch day, 365 days ago, and my love for Splatoon has grown each month!
The Splatfests really defined the game, yet they were taken away. However, the free DLC sort of fills the gap for this amazing game. I hope they make an NX version of this.
The game is very fun and quirky and I love it! And this is one of the only games where I would rather play a girl instead of boy. The only Problems with the game is its wacky controls hauling that big brick of a Wii U around but that may be fixed with the more thinner Switch. The other problem is the story mode, I hated it after the 1st level, it is to repetitive, but I guess the Story Mode isn't the main thing you are supposed to do in Splatoon. I'm looking forward to Splatoon 2 (Spla2n)! I will give the game a 7.6/10
I have the game after almost 3 years
Love the game!
I’m looking for some friends to play with! I play on Wii U 😛. ADD ME: ‘EpicSep’
Still probably my favorite splatoon and I highly doubt splatoon 3 will change that.
