Some media sources have suggested that it might drop late November/early December...

Splatoon will be at least 12 months away. I'm a bit concerned about that, they've shown no single-player and Wii U online is supposedly quite baron these days for even Mario Kart 8 (I can't confirm, I've never played online with my Wii, which is kind of the problem with Nintendo's customers I guess) so if Splatoon is a Team Fortress kinda thing it's going to flatline as soon as the next Zelda or something comes out and people forget it.

I've found this sort of thing to be a real problem with consoles with small userbase's. Take the xbox one Titanfall can be very empty outside of the main modes, and if you wanted to play the story stuff after the first few months then your luck was out. if Mariokart cant keep players on-line how will a new IP that is heavily focused on on-line play fair its a bit worrying.

As for Smash Bros. it will be out this year, they just want to keep the attention on the 3DS version at the moment which is actually pretty smart. Plenty of time to hype the Wii U version if it comes late November or early December with Amiibos.

Also Nintendo always release their biggest title on the last Friday in November (Skyward Sword in 2010, SM3DL and MK7 in 2011, Wii U console launch in 2012, SM3DW last year).
Edit:Originally posted by Guts View PostWell, I play MK8 online and there're plenty of pretty good racers there to play against, so I don't know what your point is if you haven't played the game.
I've also played a lot of MK8 (since the update it turned out I'm only 1,000 or so coins from the golden glider which made me think I'll play something else until the DLC releases), I've just never been online with it, which was my point as I'd say I'm a pretty stereotypical post-Wii Nintendo customer.
Originally posted by Guts View PostAnd regarding Splatoon, those are just assumptions with nothing to back them up. The aimed release is first half of next year btw.
As for the release date, if you believe a loose "First Half 2015" from Nintendo doesn't mean Oct/Nov then I question where you've been for the past few years. As mentioned Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was once supposed to be Spring 2014 but currently has no confirmed date. Before that Mario Kart 8 was "Q1", then "April" and eventually came the last day of May. Before that DKC: Tropical Freeze was Nov 2013 and came Feb 2014. Captain Toad has just been delayed too... I could go on but yeah, forgive me for using evidence to make a judgement.Last edited by Pikate; 06-10-2014, 14:03.

Just opinion, but i would be very surprised if splatoon sees release at all, or if it does just as a download curio with virtually no content. It just screams of something slapped together to excite the hard core at e3.
I could be wrong of course, but they showed other things that hadn't even begun development proper, like Starfox and Zelda, so it's probably a long ways off if there even continuing with its dev.Last edited by fishbowlhead; 06-10-2014, 14:25.
