This was a console-seller for the Wii U for me. The gameplay is incredibly fun and the aesthetic is one of the strongest in all of Nintendo's library. When it first came out, I would start up the game and refight Octavio, before going online and getting shortly booted out because my internet was so bad at the time. Still, the Splatoon series remains one of the best online games Nintendo has ever had.
I was not excited for this game in the slightest until I saw it on launch day from a friend. Ended up putting a ton of time into it, sad that eventually save scumming for stats ended up being a thing at higher levels. Campaign was surprisingly good for the time and preferred to Splat2's base game one. Sad that it's now a lost game.
