To counteract those saying well you can't compare this to an established IP, well most of those established IPs don't have Nintendo's general good will.

The fact that this game was from the makers of Mario, Zelda, etc. probably gives it as much of a boost as if it was a sequel.


Uh huh, tell that to Codename STEAM


BAM.

There you go, CrownKlown, that's one more poor assumption shot down.


Okay and it was a turn based rpg styled on Western themed comics with a love craft steam punk twist.

Its a little hard to compare that with Splatoon. At least use Code name heroes as a suggestion.

Besides one example that goes counter a statement does not disprove it.


It doesn't disprove it but it considerably weakens your statement. And splatoon was also a hard sell. A game that's basically online only about squid kids covering ground with paint? Yeah, not an easy concept. And especially when you compare the install bases of 3ds to wiiu, Splatoons sales become even more impressive.

Did Nintendo's brand help? Sure. Does it make this milestone less impressive? Nope.
