outburst

Meh. It's just a Splat Jr. without spread. Bomb rush sucts. I think NZap is better with its range.

@Damo
You're using Bing!? Really?

@Sanicranfast
I meant how many in Japan and Europe compared to 15M in the US?

Only 9$ in the US but 10€ in EU? WTF

Getting it digitally as always. Expensive month with 7 amiibos coming out, this game, and Art Academy! Who knows there'll be "available after this presentation" games on E3!

How many in Japan and Europe?

@ThomasBW84
It's that TIME again like last year.

@bezerker99
Same. Now I'll wait for the review of the 3DS version then decide which one to get.

Nintendo will just shrug off the leak and will go on with the Digital Event.

@dkxcalibur
Well add the fact that Splatoon was like 10% finished last year. They needed to release it now (so not to take more time on the upcoming E3 Digital event) and release the other contents on weekly basis leading to the big update on August to keep the momentum. Yeah, we all somehow knew that the game is not yet finished with game modes still to come on August.

@vitalemrecords
Nah. WiiU or GTFO!

I've been saying all along. Splatoon is a system seller. And I still think it will outsell Smash U but will only be second to MK8!

@Zach777
We're talking online multiplayer here where you play the same stages over and over. It's not the same as Zelda or any single player games where one ir three playthroughs is enough.

. Makes me wonder why I haven't heard complaints that Capcom is releasing MH4U DLC contents every month and why they didn't release all the contents all together? Yep, to keep the interest on the game for long. Why is COD and Battlefiled have season passes? To keep the interest in the game high. Nintendo is doing it week by week.

@Varoennauraa
Exactly what I always say. "Gyro or GTFO!"

@Zach777
I like how they roll it really. Release them all at once and some stages will get ignored. On-disc or downloadable, it doesn't make a difference. Only how they deliver contents.

Thanks! Nice read!

I wasn't that interested in this game when I saw it last year. Also I didn't like the aiming down sight animation back then. Now it's a day one buy IF it features gyro-aiming with the gamepad or Wii-remote + nunchuk. I just can't stand the R stick for aiming (maybe I should play with the sensitivity setting) for someone who is used to mouse + keyboard when playing shooters.

@kobashi100
Right, move along troll. You would have been a lil credible if you said PS3 graphics. Now go out a lil bit from your room and breathe some fresh air.

Devil's Third new video looks amazing. Itagaki is the boss!

Meanwhile in Europe...

@Grumblevolcano
Okay I changed my mind.

On the bright side, they won't need to reveal/include this on the digital event, Smash DLC is also out of the way, and those games included on the Micro Direct etc.

I think I'll get Shattered Crystal when it goes on sale.

@Peach64
At this point, I won't be surprised if Nintendo would pay for another critically-acclaimed exclusive whether it sold well ir not. Xenoblade X, Devil's Third, Project Treasure, and Fatal Frame are on the way, why not another Bayonetta or another "mature" game for the Wii U that would appeal to those PS/Xbox owners?

Edit
Throw in a Bayonetta/WonderRed amiibo exclusive to a game bundle then it'll sell like hot cakes.

Bayonetta 3 exclusive to Wii U to complete the trilogy!

I'm just waiting for Megaman & Bass here on Europe so I can complete my Megaman (& Zero) collection on the Wii U. (Not interested on the Battle Network series).

If it's a Metroid FPS/TPS, all I ask is to include gyro aiming. I can't stand a shooter using the R stick for aiming. I've played mostly shooters on mouse+keyboard. WWHD is one of the best game I've played using the gamepad's gyro. Without the gyro on the pro controller? It's crap.

@RCMADIAX
Why not a dozen?

LOL

That's all of it? Hmmmm.... Getting Dr. Mario, Fullblox and Boxboy this week.

@crimsontadpoles
You shouldn't run and paint with it. You swing fast and swim then ... you swing fast and swim.

The only useful feature of the run-and-paint with it is when you're escaping and you're on neutral/enemy ground.

@Stu13
You and me both. High RoF SplatJr + unbreakable Bubbler is = wiin.

A good list. I haven't gotten Hyrule Warriors yet so change that to DKTF. Bump SM3DW to second place, Splatoon on 3rd and put Smash Bros on the 10th place and you have my list.

@ThomasBW84
1up for you! I opened this article yesterday but only read it now. I'm too busy with work and Splatoon lately I barely have time to read Nintendo news. Great read! I realized I needed NLife for such articles and news as much as I needed Nintendo for gaming! Thank you!

Rogue Legacy please.

I'll be getting both even though I've barely touched the 3ds version.

Bubbler or bust.

@ikki5 @Yorumi
Splatoon is pegi 7 so...

If they'll add voice chat, it should be on"tournament " or friends mode only which may happen on the August update. Giving voice chat to regular and ranked would just give an unfair advantage on organized VC users against regular/casual players

Voice chat should only be in 8 friends (or tournament) mode.

@Beechbone
I don't think so. Aerospray (or dual squelcher) + bubbler would be OP.

@Beechbone
Use SplatJr and activate Bubbler only during ambush/firefight. I don't have problems dealing against inkstrike, kraken or killing wail.

And ...

"Phew!"
-Apple fanboys

Like a few others here, I am surprisingly interested on the upcoming Mario and Sonic game even though I wasn't interested on the previous ones before.

@Yorumi
I gotta agree with you on the aero spray weapons. I'm usually on top with SplatJr (I've bought weapons but still can't find a replacement, level 16 now). But when an Aero spray (gold/bronze one) is on the team, they are always on top of their respective teams.

@dizzy_boy @ThomasBW84
"in Europe on 26th May, "

Ink Brush for me and any weapon with high rate of fire with Bubbler!

Well it's holiday here in Italy tomorrow so YESSSSSSSSS!!!

Wiiiiiii Huuuuuuuu!

Wii U please!

@hiptanaka
Haha! 1up for you!
