Splatoon is to Wii U what Halo was to XBOX
*. Splatoon, if you're not aware, is the most spectacular shooter on the market.
I think Splatoon is Nintendo's best in multiplayer action. So I'm going to focus on talking about the multiplayer portion of the game.
Agreed and it's not even close. I think one problem is people play the single player, then play turf wars, then quit. Or if they have Splatoon 2 they play Salmon run too. The problem is, all those modes are maybe a 7 or 8/10 on the fun scale. The real 11/10 fun is the ranked modes. All 4 of these are by far the best modes in the game.
As for WiiU version, at least you could hold up the remote and look at the map. The Splatoon 2 solution doesn't work well. I want to just glance with my eyes at the map not press a button. Splatoon 3 needs a
mini map option.
As for specials, the Booyah Bomb is basically the Ink Strike. There is a similar special for Killer Wail, Krakken, and bazooka too. I think all Splatoon maps will find their way back eventually too, even if it takes Splatoon 3.
What the game desperately needs is
split screen multiplayer. 2 player split would be great, but 4 player split needs to happen. Then you have 4 player couch multi plus a built in team for online. I hopec Splatoon 3 is a Switch game and has these features.
