Cialis Railman posted:I wouldn't be surprised if people are upset that they're not treating this game with the gravitas it deserves, people take video games way too goddamn seriously. If this old ad tons of people hated taught me anything is that the Squid-Kid commercial will over time only become more and more adored in retrospect. Like seriously almost every baby gamer hated "Clean is better than dirty" back in the day.

It's honestly not that great a jingle. To be fair, though, I don't envy the marketing team that's asked to summarize the concept of this game in 30 seconds.

I'm imagining some hipster nerdcore band getting on stage at Magfest 2035 and getting riotous calls of "PLAY 'YOU'RE A SQUID, NOW!' HEY! PLAY 'YOU'RE A SQUID, NOW!' FROM THE COMMERCIAL!"

I guess somewhere along the way Nintendo forgot how to make good commercials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqVVG4FCq7w

They struck me as blatant 90s marketing parodies but maybe I'm seeing things that aren't there.

People online have been buzzing about this game as if everyone's already on board but I have to wonder if kids even give a poo poo.

My little brother, All Kids Ever, is anecdotally interested, so basically Splatoon is going to be Nintendo's latest and greatest game.

Black Mage Knight posted:Oh right, Splatoon thread. I have to say, I really love how it seems like this game is the most unintentionally eSports thing. Like, so much of this game just works really well on a spectator level, including just the way turf wars plays, and I have to wonder if it was something they intended. I don't think it's unintentional. Or at least, the things that give it a chance aren't. Nintendo's always been pretty big on watchability in their games. A competitive game needs to be pretty balanced to be fun even casually. That's 2/3 of what's needed, the rest is a decent level of skill differentiation

Nintendo's pushing this as a new IP harder than anything since Pokemon Red/Blue. Not that I mind, because it seems to fully deserve the hype from everything we've seen.
