SPLATOON (aka PHBBTBBHT aka FART NOISES: THE GAME)

[Kriven]

I think Splatoon is definitely along the lines of Team Fortress 2... I mean, it's obviously Nintendo's attempt at the online multiplayer team shooter. So it sure fits in the same camp as a lot of the more popular team shooters out there, although it has Nintendo's usual charm about it (and I'm wondering if that's going to put some of the genre-regulars off).

As for how long before an Inkling appears in Smash? Maybe as DLC... Maybe not until the next iteration of Smash in five-to-eight years.
