Do we expect Splatoon to be the next major Nintendo I.P.?

Terrible opinions.
Pikmin 1 and 2 are something I cherish a lot.
But man, Splatoon feels just so good to play. I can't believe this is, really, Nintendo's first shot at a shooter outside of Metroid Prime.
I cannot tell you about the PS4/Xbox versions, I have it on PC.
Yeah, let's make sure Miyamoto isn't distracted from Project Guard.
Cool, thanks for your recommendations anyways. I'm sure the PS4 version is fine, people seem happy enough with it. I just hope that those console optimizations come in 1.08 or whatever. I lived through the N64 era though so I'm sure I can manage.
I wish the pro controller had a gyroscope for this game. I don't mind the gamepad but it would have been awesome to be able to use that with the motion aiming.
Nah, i think it would have sold good the first Time,

Thanks man, too bad the only info about the update is in text form; all the footage seems to be from the game as it currently exists...
I've been playing both for the last 2 months. And will for the rest of the summer it seems like. They're a perfect complement.

why even compare. both pikmin 3 and splatoon are shining examples of why somebody shouldn't skip the wii u. fuck sales, there is gold on this system..
I figured they would be! I always like to keep something more fun/lighthearted on deck to play in between the more serious stuff. I've been playing Ryse and The Order the past two weeks with plenty of Rocket League in between. Though in that case, it's more like rushing through dinner to get to your dessert more quickly.
Thanks for the insight! Probably going to pick them up on the way home from work today to play all weekend. Gonna be fun.

Pikmin 3 is Miyamoto's best game, so I'm not sure what this statement is all about.

Seems like I kicked a hornet's nest. Let's go slow here:
He better retire if that's the best he can do. And I fully expect a dozen "then make something better" posts after this remark.
I'd rather have another Wii Music masterpiece.
Thank you.
No need for that, I never liked Pikmin, and I have nothing against Miyamoto, except when he fucks up games like Sticker Star. Though his positives outweight the negatives so far (thanks for the Gamecube controller and Mario, Miyamoto).
No, I'm from this same universe. Different opinions can happen.
I'm fine, thanks.
He can do what he wants, and I can say what I want* about it.
*Without breaking GAF's TOS.

I'm fine, I just thought it would be rude not to answer.
Miyamoto himself knows this and has basically all but said it through interviews.
What is it exactly you dislike about Pikmin?

The gameplay, the time limit, but mostly how Miyamoto kept trying to push the thing forward. I understand that he might be fond of the project, but let it go. IIRC one mod here even joked about another Pikmin announcement, because everytime he appeared (Miyamoto) he kept talking about the thing.

Yes. You can say whatever you want. Though I'm fairly certain the fact that you don't like a game is what makes the game "shitty." Honestly, it's usually that everyone is unique and every game shouldn't be sold just for you... which is exactly the Nintendo mission statement. Grow the medium, engage new players, appease loyal fans. It seems like every time a game doesn't directly appeal to someone they scream NINTENDO DOESN'T GET IT and when they do it's like "There, now you did it right." Just let them do it all. Someone has to take risks or else we get a static entertainment medium that will always be niche and never be anything that earns a broader respect.
It just seems inflammatory. It's not breaking any rules, sure, and it may be a genuine reaction but at the end of the day it isn't constructive and seems like response bait. I like to use Brain Age as a nice example. That game isn't for me, but it got DS in hands of people in a way that had never happened. Hell, if you look at smart phone apps and games it seems a lot like a direct response to that.
But whatever. I'm ranting a losing battle. I'd rather have a conversation where someone says "Ugh, I hope he isn't working on another Pikmin. The way the game handled just felt clunky compared to Miyamoto's clearly capable abilities to make something responsive and precise. Put Miyamoto on something new and courageous, we don't need him on a game with a 4 suffix." Your responses just feel... idk, like a dude behind a screen.

Thank you for your answer, and no, I'm not just trolling. If I was I wouldn't come back here to answer anything. Yes, I do wish Miyamoto tried new things once in a while, though sometimes it fail and people would still get mad. Hell, I myself got mad when he tried something different with Sticker Star even though he did what I asked in the first place (which is try something new). People are complicated, some like the comfort of regularity, keeping things the way they are, while others like to change wherever it is possible. But what happens when we like both things, as in try new stuff but keep our old stuff the way they are? Are we being hypocrites? Maybe, maybe not.
I think we know the answer to this two years later...

resurrects old thread to say splaoon is good and in the process reminds everyone of how many doubters there were a few years back
good job son
where the modbots at
This post is truly worth bumping a 2 year old thread for.

If there were a thread to demonstrate just how out of touch some of us are, this would be it.

Lmao we found the answer 2 years ago.
Love Nintendo and Splatoon, but if it hits 1M WW it would already be a miracle.
This wall of shame just on the first page alone.

This thread also showcases that the GAF consensus is usually incorrect when it comes to Nintendo:

Basically, the opposite is true.

Wow, this thread shows how wrong people were over Splatoon.
I always thought it looked neat, but I didn't expect it to be as successful as it was either. I'm very happy that the first game did so well.

Aw shit, there was another thread where I shortly after predicted it would become as big as Smash. But it's apparently not this thread, so now my bad prediction is kept for posterity.

Worthy bump if you ask me. Reading the wall of shame alone is worth it.
One GAFFer said he would drink his own pee if the game was a success.

I don't think I contributed to this thread, but I honestly believed at the time of it's reveal that it had the potential to be huge. I really loved the concept and overall aesthetic, the game just oozed mainstream appeal. The only concern I had at the time was, "How will Nintendo go about executing said concept?" Thankfully, they ended up nailing it big-time.

Seeing some gaffers' unwavering certainty that Splatoon would bomb is hilarious. Didn't it end up selling nearly on par with smash bros?
Pretty close. Splatoon sold 4.80 million and SSBU sold 5.66 million.

It's pretty hilarious to see this thread when now is it not only a major IP for them, but everyone's saying it's a matter of when and not if we get a playable Inkling in Smash.
As Zedark said, Splatoon came pretty damn close to Smash 4 U on its first try. The sad part is that some of GAF's lack of faith in Nintendo as far as new IPs go also applied to ARMS.
