Saw ads for this game in front of all the movies we've seen lately at Cinemark. It looks insanely stupid and the most kid-made game ever from Nintendo.

 

[Crayolan]

Simultaneously the best and worst marketing campaign ever.

I'm going to start using totally squidilicious right this second.

 

[Moondrop]

I'm a squid. Huh. Good to know.

 

[Übermatik]

Nintendo's entire marketing campaign for this game has just made me sad, really.

Why?

 

[John Kowalski]

Why?

He has finally understood how lost his innocence has been through the last decade of his life, and how he is beyond his ability to appreciate life with the passion and joy that all children know, but are now like the very sky to him. Distant, and ungraspable.

So, you're saying it's a squid now.

 

[AdanVC]

I'm a boring human. Boooo

Gotta admit this made me giggle and laugh. And I was feeling kinda down so props to Nintendo and OP for posting it hah.

I took this pic yesterday. Up here in Canada there's been tons of marketing for it. Every Best Buy, EBgames, and Source shop has promotions for it.

I hope the game sells well. It seems to have the art style to attract kids.

Nintendo marketing Splatoon with the same caliber as their huge franchises like Mario Kart or Smash. I'm sure this will pay off in pretty positive numbers. Plus the game looks and plays awesomely well. (What I've played on the demo was great!)

This is turning into some Brony level shit

Goddamned poetry.

Looking like a kids game and BEING a kids game are two different things entirely. Having played the testfire (and I am sure many here will attest to it), it's a lot of fun, but it also takes a high level of skill to get good at.

That doesn't mean it won't LOOK stupid to you, but it's not just some rah rah kids game.

 

[Doorman]

Apparently I am a squid, and also a liar.

Or am I?

 

[Rehynn]

I'm not sure why, but I found "Being emotionally strong is healthy, however it doesn't make you a squid." to be hilarious.

Got a chuckle out of me too.

 

[Nimby]

Apparently I need to get myself checked out...

I feel like this chart is almost better suited for Octodad.

 

[wildfire]

So many geezers dating themselves in this thread.

 

[HardRojo]

Marketing for this game is surely inkreasing as we approach the release date.

 

[Zalman]

This is pretty squidtastic.

 

[TheDanimal]

Hope this advertising leads to good sales numbers and not an inkstinction level event for Nintendo

...I'll see myself out.

 

[blame space]

help I think my leg is a squid

There's that same banner here in Laval too. If every Best Buy across Canada does have that on top of everything else I've seen then it's a pretty big budget marketing campaign.

 

[Gnome Scat]

What? I'm not a squid!?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I'm a kid but then a squid when drunk.

 

[Durden77]

Is the actual "You're a kid now, you're a squid now!" line an altered line? Cause in that video with the stupid song all I hear is "You're an Inkling kid, that turns into a squid."

Also suprised more people aren't jamming on "No one will KNOW WHERE YOU HID.'

 

[Deyjandi_Von]

GODDAMNED PUNS

Yeah, some of them really stINK.

 

[Dark_castle]

I have a squid in my pants. Does that count for anything?

Puns made me chuckle, this made me laugh.

I'm glad someone replied, I was wondering if no one here watched Rocket Power.

Its an actual line. There's a seperate ad where the lady just sings, "You're a kid now, you're a squid now!" It was great.

I'm listening to it for the 100th time.

 

[stilgar]

As a squid-kin, I feel pretty offended that everybody seems to be ok with making fun of my identity.

 

[HowZatOZ]

I want to ink myself silly.

So strange, no matter what I do on this infographic, I end up at Kirby.
