I don't play many console tyoe games...
...but this looks like it has the key thing missing from many I look at these days...Fun.
Nintendo might be incapable of depicting any kind of violence in its games (beyond a fat plumber stamping on turtles), but that doesn't mean it can't do team warfare. Splatoon navigates the narrow path between too much violence and too little by furnishing its combatants with water pistols filled with coloured ink. Splatoon …
Well...with the game getting free content throughout it's future with new modes, weapons, maps, etc...being aware of a King of the Hill type mode and another mode (being on a moving Tower), there's maybe the chance of a Capture the Flag mode being added in the future...maybe.
Yeah...with that mode being not currently in, at least they're other modes that'll be added/available to play and look fun!
You can look up vids (taken from the Splatoon Direct) previewing some of those modes if you want to gander what they are. =)
Just got my copy of Splatoon and it's definitely a whole lot of fun. Nintendo has shown the world the right way to do a shooter. It's just a whole lot of good clean fun, the graphics are great, the multiplayer is snappy, and the gameplay is smooth. And they did it without all of the gory violence of games like the now-obsolete CoD.
