Splatoon looks amazing- the multiplayer shooter from Nintendo that comes with its own twist looks like the most genuinely fresh game in years, and not just because it's a new IP, but also because of how mechanically inventive it is. With the game's strong focus on multiplayer (online was the star of the show, but the developers have also confirmed local and a single player campaign), Splatoon just feels like it will be the next big Nintendo multiplayer property. You know- like Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart.

In any case, I'm very excited for this game, and cannot wait for it to hit next year.

Maybe. The graphics are bad and I'm not a huge fan of limiting the online to 4 vs 4. It just seems like having 4 teams of 4 would work better for a game like this. I hadn't heard of the single player campaign and I might gain some interest if that looks good. The game does look a lot different than anything else that has ever been tried. It could end up being great.

No blood? No violence? No way for me to be a bigot, racist, or anything else? No thanks. I'll go back to playing COD and Titanfall.

The graphics are obviously not done yet- we have more than a year to go before the game releases, they will obviously be worked on. The idea with more teams playing on the map is intriguing though, although it might have already been tried and discarded as too unbalanced.

I've said it another thread but it feels a bit weak on content so far? Are there gonna be other weapons? Customizations? Leveling up? Many maps? Maybe other goals? More teams?

So far it appears to be quite simple? 4 vs 4, few maps, all with the same weapons. It could get boring real quick.

Edit: Didn't watch video, 33 minutes of gameplay? no thx

Yeah, I agree with this. The gameplay that is shown intrigues me, but I would need a lot more info to get really excited about this. What has been shown would warrant a $15 eshop purchase to me, but not a $60 retail release.

It's more than a year out lol, this was just the first reveal. It's obviously going to have more, but to answer your questions:

  • Yes, it has multiple maps
  • Yes, it has multiple kinds of weapons
  • Multiple game modes
  • No clue about customizations or leveling up, but this seems to be a classical arena style shooter, so it might not have loadouts and perks and shit

The only thing they have said about customizations is that you can change the Inklings (squid girls) clothes.

On another note, that footage doesn't do the graphics justice. It looks so much better in the trailer

What's appealing about it? It's just a quantity paint contest.

Not interested... I was actually a bit annoyed by how much time it took up towards the end of the E3 direct.

Looks promising, although I too would be interested in knowing whether there will be any single player game modes as well as whether there'll be different multiplayer modes (CTF, King of the Hill, etc.).

I watched the reveal a few times and while I think that it's a refreshing break from the standard fare competitive multiplayer, I don't know that even if executed well it has the broad appeal to gain a foothold on the masses... It certainly could provide a strong niche following though... obviously all speculation though.

I don't see it having Mario Kart/SSB levels of success, but hopefully it can manage to do well regardless.

I really enjoyed Tag mode in the ol Tony Hawk Pro Skater games... this reminds me of that but at a much better scale. Should be real fun.

Not even worth thinking about now. It's still going to be an upcoming title Next E3, so we can see how it's shaping up then. Nothing about it so far stands out as a hit to me. If Nintendo wasn't making it I doubt anyone in SW would be talking it up at all.

I will wait and see.

Pros: maybe an online game I might enjoy that is not tacked on co-op, or the COD type competitions and jerks that are why I hardly play online in the first place.

Cons: its on Nintendo. the way they have treated online up until this point can their online infrastructure handle this if it became big? and can I just get on and play and find my friends, or do I have to jump through hoops and friends code type bullshit.

Game looks a load of fun but seen too little to make any kind of opinion on it. I'll wait until more details likes modes, weapons and maps but nice to see something this original for once.

I dont know if it will be big or even popular, but one thing is certain, I am pretty interested in it.

  1. From what I hear, there will be no (gameplay changing) level ups or perks or other nonsense ruining online FPS.
  2. The game mode looks interesting to say the least, plenty of opportunity for players to make comebacks and seems to allow teams to employ multiple strategies.
  3. The whole squid thing opens up a lot of gameplay opportunities.

The game has a lot of potential, all it needs now is tweaks and more than content than one map.

Yeah you start gaming with Nintendo then you grow up but Nintendont. But if you love colorful cartoon kiddy games you are in heaven when playing Nintendo games.

It looks like a $10 or $15 title... Sure those can be great and even win some GOTYs but I don't see any lasting appeal here

I have doubts, I mean it looks like a really fun multiplayer game, but online multiplayer isn't what I imagine to be most peoples first though when picking up a Wii U or its games.

Splatoon and Evolve are so far the only two unique multiplayer offerings I've seen in E3.

I'm watching this game closely. I really love what I have seen so far, but I'm cautiously optimistic given nintendos approach to online gaming so far.

This game is a whole nother beast when compared to mario kart. And will more than likely live or die by how fully featured the online multiplayer is.

Worse case scenario I think splatoon becomes a good learning experience for Nintendo, when it comes to making a successful online game. Best case Nintendo has another hit on its hand and I end up loving it.

I'm excited to hear more about it either way.

I don't think nintendo is going to treat this game like wonderful101. They will treat it like one of the big IP's most likely and it may break a million . They showed this game a lot during the treehouse live stream.So I think they care about growing a userbase that will be interested in this type of game. They may actually advertise the game when it comes out or during holiday 2015.

It looks nice but i dont see it getting you addicted to it for more than an hour i mean it seems like one of those games that you hold R1 during the entire match with the hopes that you get someone in the process and those kind of games get old really fast.. Also 4 vs 4 is small for being a console shooter.

Graphics are superb, 60 fps video available here.

Also seems like there will be a high skill ceiling, judging by this gif:

I don't think Nintendo could have presented an "online shooter new IP" any better than this honestly. We'll see if they can translate potential to mass popularity.

Fully fledged physical release according to the developers in charge of the game.
