I guess they've gotten away from the whole 'these cartoon characters must adhere to real world Olympic performance standards' thing with this one, the game actually looks kind of fun now.

If they're putting in Mario versions of Golf and Soccer, I hope they bring back their bizarre vision of Basketball as well for this one.

Nah man...

1) You should open them.
2) We don't care about Silver Mario. Gold Mario (the Wal-Mart exclusive) is the one that was impossible to get. Silver Mario is relatively easy to obtain, especially as demonstrated by you just casually getting one without trying.
3) They are toys, open them, enjoy them.
4) Or keep this Mint in Box if that's your thing. Do what makes you happy.

Ok, now that I have Ness, wake me up when Dr. Mario and Ganondorf are for sale.

It almost makes me wish he were in Smash even though I've never played a Chibi-Robo game before, but I'll hopefully be able to play the first one in the following months thanks to a friend of mine.

It's a shame that the football clip from the Rio olympics game looked really stiff, I can't imagine it's anything like Mario Strikers

I want to want Splatoon, but the way the maps rotate and the fact that you have to duck out of online to change your loadout before joining another random team doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. There was a good number of times in the Global Testfire where I'd end up on a team with three other rollers and we would get (ironically) rolled over because we had no ranged support.

How often is Splatoon going to get updates?

We know there's plans for new modes, matchmaking options, and maps between now and august, but I don't think there's dates for anything yet. They'll probably have info on it at E3.

Depends on how often people make a fuss about it. Nintendo is throwing money left and right for it become an actual IP they can rely on and likely plans to keep the game around while people are playing, but if the development team doesn't hear about little improvements they could add, they will probably not add them.

Well, they will still likely not add them anyway, but if they don't hear anyone making a fuss about it, it's 100% certain they won't.

Splatoon is amazing. It also makes me want to grab Nintendo Land (yeah I know you guys have been preaching it's greatness) because it was made by Nintendo EA&D Group 2 same guys who made Splatoon.

For what its worth, my experience across a hundred and fifty or so games so far has been that there's very rarely more than two rollers and often just one.

As for updates supposedly by the end of the summer august splatoon is going to have 9 new maps? And who knows how many weapons. There's a screenshot of a guidebook floating around somewhere that shows 4 maps and 8 weapons.

they're solid minigame collections and the dream events always stand out as being particularly good, plus theyre full of fun fanservice. theyre nothing amazing or anything but they're fun enough. its definitely not going to be mario strikers 3 though idk why anyone thinks it will be

I don't think Highschool extra curricular activities are all that time consuming. It's safe to say that you could in fact do both.
