You do realize Splatoon has exceeded Luigi's Mansion in lifetime sales, or will very soon.

On a console with almost half the install base in a period of less than six months rather than 15 years.

Too little too late, the NX is coming. How much fun will Splatoon be when there's no more online servers?

He should at least unlock himself in the new FE, or at least that terrible FExSMT.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

I like splatoon enough that I will immediately buy the NX and whatever version 1.5 sequel they manage to crank out

I took my Wii U out of my laptop bag at airport security and the guy asked me what it was. I told him "It's the newest Nintendo" and he replied "They still make those?"

By the way, I was in a local expo where a local branch of Nintendo were showcasing games. One of them was Xenoblade Chronicles X, where I got to give it a whirl. It certainly plays out like an offline version of a MMORPG. The frame rate is - to put it kindly - cinematic, but at least it's constant and not that important to the gameplay. Maybe I'll pick it up sometime. Just not at release.

I heard it actually needs like 10 gigs extra just to get it to run better? Too bad the system only has like 30 gigs or so of usable memory. Whatever the NX does, it really needs to have like 500 gigs of space. That Nintendo thought an 8gig WiiU was ok was one of the most embarrassing things they've ever done. I still can't believe that poo poo.

That's a good point, I'm probably going to have to finally break out the external drive I bought for the WiiU like three years ago for the XCX texture pack or whatever.

The only recent games that are worth playing are Tales of Zestiria, Disgaea 5, Dragon Quest heroes, and Trails in the Sky SC. Anything else falls short and is not worthy.

I'm oddly okay with it, under the assumption that it is to keep cost low because anybody that is serious about digital gaming is going to upgrade the storage anyway. But everyone knows that is bullshit and the cost isn't any lower.

You will not be disappointed. Actually, the only disappointment you will feel is the frustration of seeing fewer and fewer examples of the later lessons appear and instead watching countless terrible, terrible drawings cascade into the community art area.

It's like you'll see plenty of tomatoes (lesson 0), a precious few apples (lesson 1), and then basically no lilies, bonsai, strawberries, or eggs ever. I'm still working through the lessons nice and slow, and I am beyond shocked at what I am now capable of. It's not fantastic, but I started as close to zero as possible. I didn't even take art in high school.

Anyone on the fence should buy the game and actually do the lessons. You will learn real, applicable art skills. I actually bought some cheap colored pencils, and I'm thinking about getting a set of pastels. I didn't realize how strongly I felt about this until I started writing.
