How did Splatoon get so popular?

Loli and shota

Squid kids are cute.

Loli squid

Doesn't take much to realize why these two are popular together in moonland

>>323091823
Advertising and forced perception. It's not even a good game.

Simple, it didn't

Deep moral choices like kid or squid

Nintendo made a new IP and actually advertised it.

>literally nothing else to play on wii u. not even multiplats
>it's a first party game that's actually a new IP
>sexualized kids
>memes

that'll do it.

>>323091823
It's a fresh take on TPS.
Also squidlolis and squidshotas

>>323091823
Actual marketing
A new IP
Wii U had few games at it's release
Game's concept is pretty unique
appeals to pedophiles

I don't get it either. Squids look fantastic when drawn in 2D, but as soon as you go 3D they look fucking nasty. Really hoping to get Splatoon 2 on the NX when they update the models and make them look like not shit.

Reminder

>>323091823
Its a fun, simple, and unique new IP that appeals to all ages on a console with a small library of decent games. Plus it has a pretty cool semi-90's aesthetic and its from fucking Nintendo what did you expect.

Great artstyle, and that's all. As a shooter is medicore at best, but they nailed it with the artstyle.

its fun for people like me who dont care about mechanics, style, or customization

i just like waking up early on saturdays and imagining that what are presumably thirteen year olds can hear me yelling at the screen through mouthfuls of cereal

>>323093282
>As a shooter is medicore at best
The fuck?

By actually betting a fun, competitive game. It's marketed like a shooter but honestly it's somewhere in between a TPS and a fighting game in terms of the dynamics of play, like the fact that spacing and close quarter mind games matter a lot. It's not a perfect game, though. I don't think Nintendo fully appreciates what they made here, either.

I like it because it's actually a fun game.

>>323093651
And? It's still good. The inklings, the octarians, the store clerks, Inkopolis, the splatfest Inkopolis... It's fucking perfect.
>>323093992
It is, especially ranked, but I've to admit Turf War tends to be pretty fun regardless of how good or bad your team is.

>>323094057
>It's not a perfect game, though. I don't think Nintendo fully appreciates what they made here, either.
Didn't they host a small torunament circuit in japan? And NoA even pushed that angle on some streams.

Its ideas/ themes are fresh and its really fun. Knew from the first announcement it was going to be great.

Is it really popular outside /v/? I never hear anyone talking about it or buying it.

>>323094736

It was something new, a shooter that had colors and was more complex than mere "kill the enemy". A fresh breeze of air in a genre that got fucking stale by everyone degrading itself to cowadoody to get their sales numbers
And nintendo advertised one it for once.
Also, the game is pretty gud and doesnt milk its player with paid dlc shit, but that doesnt matter much at this day and age

>Those generic Miku rejects

Meanwhile squid boys get Cid Highwind Bane, and Steve Urkel.

This is a horrible opinion and you should feel bad about it.

>>323099905
Eh, the only one I can think of is the stage thing.
The rest of the game is fine.

Popular in Japan because they're more accepting of 'childish' style, popular in west because it's marketed to children. Fun to play regardless of your skill level.

Japs have a fairly subtle lag advantage the majority of the time, but it can make all the difference in the world at S and above. No matter how shitty the player is, in a straight firefight they'll kill me instantaneously as their bullets catch up on my end. I'll often duck behind cover, escape, or think I've killed them before I hear everything hit me all at once and explode. Chargers and certain specials are especially heinous.

>features "ultimates" that are more balanced than that of any other multiplayer competitive game on the current market

Nintendo has heard all the complaints about map choice, voice chat and more.
Whether or not they address them, and how they even would, is what will determine if this series can be elevated to godlike status and stand alongside gay-ass eSports scene.

For as good as it is, without proper online features it's still going to be considered a laughing stock if anyone tries to call it "competitive".

Okay so, stage and mode rotations. What else amiibos are pretty much a non issue because they only have cosmetics, the minimap on the lower screen isn't an issue either due to the size of the maps a quick glance tells you where to go so you don't miss a beat.

Not that fag/girl, but $60 for a multiplayer focused shooter is bullshit. Especially when you can get comparable/better games in the same genre on Steam for $5.

Nintendo seriously need to drop their policy of keeping their first party games full price, because even on release Splatoon should never have been more than $40 for what it is.

>>323103537
>and splatoon barely scraped that together in the years since it came out
It hasn't even been a year yet and it's a new IP on a console with a low install base.
Also compared to the exclusives on a competitor's system that's about the norm even for an established series.

>>323103868
>Nintendo seriously need to drop their policy of keeping their first party games full price
That has never been a policy anon.
Also after a certain point the retailers control the price and seeing as Nintendo games generally sell steadily regardless of price they're less inclined to drop the price.

Also there's yet to be a steam game to match it.

So networking, matchmaking, locking you into lobbies where you can't do anything, and an extremely short singleplayer campaign somehow aren't flaws?
Also amiibos give you far more than just cosmetics.
Tower control is easily the shittiest mode that forces everyone onto an extremely small, slow moving space. Rainmaker is superior in every way. But it wouldn't be a problem if you didn't have to wait four hours just to get to play a mode you like.

A quick glance at the minimap at the start does not give you a good indication of your surroundings when you're in the thick of things. How often do you look down at the minimap to notice you're about to get flanked when you're in a firefight?

>>323104245

If it wasn't for the fact that splatoon is the only wii game I want, I'd be playing it right now. Loli factor stronk.

bullshit.

there is far more kemoshota than kemololi and it makes me sad

>>323109062
Yeah, because it's not possible to get an understanding of where people are on the map by seeing the ink they lay down or when their exact position shows up on the map via echolocator or when they have ink on them.

You can glean quite a bit about where someone's going or what they're doing by looking at the map. If you're in a dogfight and suddenly you notice a giant ass steak of enemy ink coming up behind you on the map, that's a pretty good indicator that you're about to get a roller shoved up your ass and to get away.

It's also absolutely vital for rainmaker, and even useful for tower control. Also if someone escapes and is attempting to hide or ambush you, but still has some of your ink on them, giving away their location.

I don't hate Splatoon, in fact I fucking LOVE the game.

But how the fuck is it almost hitting 3 million. It even formed it's own autistic fanbase on Tumblr. I'm so confused. Did they really marketed it THAT fucking much?

Reminder that Callie/Aori > Marie/Hotaru

>>323104317

>>323111036
Pre release yeah it got a fuck ton of marketing but it all died after release now it's just going along on it's own steam.

>>323111036
It's an addicting, solidly enjoyable game that they're constantly keeping relevant by updating with new content.

>>323102841

>>323111036
Some devs would KILL for a dedicated following as Splatoon has. The reason for its popularity, I'd have to imagine, stems from specifically the design of yhe characters. The inklings are interesting just by design alone, not to mention cute, and the "messy" modern artstyle resonates with people. It manages to be both modern and retro at the same time.
Beyond that, the game plays great and the online is solid. Clearly the devs hit SOME cord while making this game.

Naw it's just how Nintendo does things. Nearly ever game they made they just keep selling well after release. It's called being evergreen. Animal Crossing might be their biggest evergreen when even years after New Leaf it's still normally on the top 10 selling game in Japan.

When I play everything is normal for a few seconds where the ink paints with no lag, but after 10 seconds I get disconnected.

I can play Smash and MK8 just fine but I've been having this problem with Splatoon.

Pls help

>>323091823
Nintendo just makes experiences that nobody else has thought of doing. Not even baiting, there's a pretty wide roster of Nintendo games with pretty unique gameplay. Metroid Prime series, Pikmin series, Splatoon, Smash, Mario Maker, are all games that have no counterpart, at least on any other console.

And when people try to copy the Nintendo formulas, we get shitty, watered-down Zelda clones and FUCKING Sony All-Stars. There's just nobody else to scratch the itch.

>>323113160
Yeah that makes sense. Heard that it was at or near the best selling console. Still shocked they didn't do a real Animal Crossing game for Wii U. But a few of those guys were making Splatoon so I guess maybe they didn't have enough resources on hand.

player inklings are 5 feet since you can just barely clear their heads with a jump in the plaza. someone did a better comparison with their 3D models laid on top of each other and found that Callie and Marie use the girl model but scaled up by 1.3, so that would put them at 6'6 each.

The law and people in general care FAR more about loli than shots. That one south park episode is really true. Even on /b/, shotafags can post shots shit and no one cares. Post loli and its a 7 day ban and half the thread flips its shit. Even a lot of sites that ban loli and shots almost never enforce it on shots. Fakku was a good example of this before it became a pay site

It blew up with 12 year old instagrammers making inkling fan accounts. Bought the game right when it came out and regretted every second of it. It is a boring, casual and repetitive neckbeard magnet.

I quit the game when it became some competitive game for hardc0re gamerz. I just wanted a fun TF2 kind of shooter I could fuck with, not CSGO with ink.

So I just started splatoon and I am level 7 now
