20 Best Nintendo Games Of The Decade
3. Splatoon 2
Why is the sequel here instead of the first game? Simple, Marina is in 2, thus 2 is superior. Fight me.
Splatoon is easily the biggest success that Nintendo has had in a LONG time, simply due to it not being a sure thing when it came out. Nintendo has a tendency to avoid going along with whatever is popular at the time, mostly to avoid becoming a trend chaser. Wise, except when it gets to the point of ignoring progress as a whole. After all, you cannot ignore the rest of your industry forever.
So Nintendo made one of the best online shooters on the market right now, Splatoon. And then they came back and did it better in the sequel. Sure the core gameplay is basically the same, but it has more maps, weapons, and everything else you look for in an online shooter sequel.
Plus it has Marina, and as we said, that alone makes it superior.
