Splatoon

I certainly enjoyed the game and been jumping into it usually every day for abit since it's more one of those kinds of games, but it's great to see that the game is doing well in Japan.  145k opening week there isn't bad at all.

Hope it does well here to.  My only negative about the game right now is the lack of variety due to limiting map and mode selection.  Two maps in a 3 to 4 hour rotation with one mode type in either Regular or Ranked brings about too much repetition.  They also brought up stuff like custom rule modes that friends can set up, but things like that aren't expected to show up till August.  Abit frustrating.  We also don't know how consistently they'll release new gear and maps.  There looks to be about 14 maps or so in total and it's great its all free, but we only have 5 right now and if it's anything other than a weekly release for maps, it's going to cause people to fade off too fast.

I agree with the lack of variety. I wish they would have delayed the game and put it all on the disc for launch. I personally just like when everything is on a disc. In 10 years when the Wii U servers are shut down, I want to be able to still play all those maps if my Wii U takes a shit. Although the game would be useless without servers anyway so I guess that doesn't matter really huh...
