Bought my son Splatoon after much insistence.

While I'm, at best, a casual gamer.. I am beginning to see why Nintendo has the cultish following it does. They just put such original and interesting twists on their own titles. Like I said, I'm obviously not a big gamer so never played a bunch of competitive FPS games, but the idea that you have all these cartoonish "squid/human" hybrids who look like a bunch of anime teeny boppers and speak in their own slang and live in some world where they fight "turf wars" by basically having graffiti battles to see who can mark up the most turf in a war zone using a variety of painting weapons (guns, rollers, brushes, buckets, bombs, etc...) It's just bizarre and oh so much freaking fun.

I really love this game. I know that you pretty much have to own a wiiU to try it out, but if you ever get a chance to play it, do so.
