Feels like a 90s Sega Dreamcast game with HD graphics which is a good thing. Creative ideas and not just a generic shooter, no microtransactions, just an inexpensive expansion pack which isn't a big deal, colorful 90s cartoony aesthetic, just fun.
I wish I had played this game sooner.

No, I didn't want to buy a console for only a few games I was actually interested in :/

Oh. Well, both were really fun. But it is true you missed the Splatfest. The game is still fun to play, but those were really fun...

You mean the one Nintendo console which will go down as Nintendo's best console ever (unlike the Wii which will go down a shovelware haven, all due to its low specs and high install base of casuals)?

The Wii U are you kidding me
Look, I agree with you that the Wii kinda sucked unless you did homebrew. I didn't want a whole console for Xenoblade X, Bayonetta and Fatal Frame. Thankfully I can get Bayonetta 1 and 2 on Switch.
IMO the Switch is the best Nintendo console since the Gamecube. Wii and Wii U were both meh

I've mostly avoided Splatoon 2 because they shut down the Splatoon 1 servers so quickly. I had some fun with it before drifting away for a short while, and before my interest came back, the servers were gone. To be fair, I only picked it up a couple years into its lifespan, but it's still made me not want to give Nintendo any more money for Splatoon.

I bought Splatoon 2 on launch because my kids were excited about it, and it's still the game I come back to the most often. I love playing Salmon Runs the most.

I would say that's the Wii U's fault, not Splatoon's fault.
The Wii U failed harder than the Vita and that is saying something considering the Vita single-handedly insured that Sony will never make a handheld gaming system ever again.

Yeah it's pretty great!

I say the splatfests were kind of boring, and one of the least important parts of the game. So you're not really missing out IMO, TC.

I believe there are a number of WiiU games that still have active online servers. I'm pretty sure killing Splatoon's as soon as they did was an effort to make Splatoon 2 more appealing, given that it offers fairly little that Splatoon 1 didn't and Nintendo wanted it to draw people to the Switch early in its life.

Spla2n is probably one of the most fun and refreshing games I've ever played (I never played the original despite owning a wiiu). I'm garbo at the game haha, but it's still fun.

Tc, you mention spla2n reminding you of Dreamcast games. When I first played it, it reminded me of jet set radio. Bright colors, the music, and the pink/rebel vibe. Love it

I honestly feel that the joycon offer less stable gyro aiming than wiiu gamepad and there is too much cover in most levels so people can camp and flank too easily which emphasizes having faster reaction speed/better gear matchup over strategy and tactics.

still love it though.

The game pad was great for the always shown map. And easier for specials...

Thats true. Though, the new stuff was good. Allowing you any of the story weapons on all levels, rather than just 3 different weapons. Though, that was fun. Technically, it was more content, though, I guess. Salmon run was fun, too...
