I'm putting half of my money on splatoon and the other half on xenoblade X. Let's not forget Devil's third. Splatoon and Devil's third might be the sleeper hit shooters this year. Only on the Wii U foo Not to put a damper on the success of those games, but Xenoblade X and Devil's Third, two games I'm really looking forward towards, are owned by Monolithsoft and Valhalla Game Studios, just as Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta are owned by Platinum. Splatoon is exclusively owned by only Nintendo.

I was under the impression that Wonderful 101 was owned by Nintendo. Not made, but owned.

Yeah W101 is a Nintendo owned IP.

I don't see why this game couldn't be a big moneymaker for nintendo. Even if the game doesn't become a huge hit, it clearly has an audience from what we've seen here on the internet. The game is 4-5 months away from launch, and already there's a lot of hype and even a forum for it! I hope that splatoon's dev team goes on to make a lot of creative new games for nintendo. New talent is the key to success!

Yeah, it all ready has quite the united fanbase which doesn't happen too often for new IP's before the game even launches. Nintendo is putting their all in this, and you can tell by how each Nintendo Direct shows something new, and them giving it the Smash Bros. treatment with the daily updates.

It will all come down to whether or not the game is able to appeal to the casual and competitive markets at the same time instead of just catering to one while alienating the other. You'll be able to have fun stress free games with your family and friends one play session with fierce pre-made teams going head to head the next. The game's art and aesthetics make for an inviting first impression. The ability to customize your inklings appearance is going to be a huge draw for a lot of people. People that may not have otherwise given the game a second look. As a shooter this a far more inviting experience than most we've seen in the past decade from a presentation standpoint.

I hope it will become a hugely popular IP, just like Mario Kart and Smash, with a large fan base. I wish that when Splatoon releases, there will be a professional community like in Smash.
