i can see this being the type of crack that kids get that they can never stop. Watching the vide and seeing the gameplay, I could see instantly how fun it would be. I  was already coming up with strategies.

This is kind of like that Mario Paintball game people were calling for.  I didn't like that concept because it seemed too kid-focused, where unlike a typical Mario game I couldn't just ignore the kid-focused elements and concentrate on the gameplay.  I figured such a game would hit me over the head too much with it's obvious non-violence and I would feel like I was playing a game for little kids, instead of a game for all ages that is appropriate for kids and adults.

Well I get the same feeling here.  I see that footage and just think "this is a kids' game".  The graphic style turns me off.  I don't need gruff space marines and buckets of gore but I need something that's a little more age-neutral.  Like with the theoretical Mario Paintball it looks like a shooting game for wimps, and Nintendo doesn't really offer an older-audiences shooting game as an alternative.  The alternatives are on the other consoles, which Nintendo gets no cut from.

I want new IP from Nintendo but the specifics of the new IP still have to appeal to me and this doesn't.  Nintendo doesn't need new kids' IP.  They got tons of IP that flies with kids.  They have a lack of IP for older audiences.

Sounds like a personal problem. (You're on a Nintendo forum. For some reason.)

i dotn have a problem with it appealing to kids. I still would love to watch tiny Toons if it was on. The main part of it is the gameplay, which looks really innovative. I remember when i got into minecraft, there was a bunch of 14 year olds. Minecraft is awesome though. I think people need to get over the whole mature game thing and get into having fun. This reminds me of playing team fortress,  but this is a new way to play it.

now that wasn't so hard.

Game actually looks really fun. Graphically, it looks like if Ubisoft and Nintendo got together to make a game, where Ubisoft handled most of the look, but Nintendo handled the gameplay.
Super Mario Sunshine meets Da Blob.

I will need to see more, like modes, items, maps, etc etc., before I decide if it's worth a purchase.
Looks like it would be a good addition to a party game collection.
Would also be nice if you could use your Mii as your Character.

Show Your True Colors

Splatter enemies and claim your turf as the ink-spewing, squid-like characters called Inklings in Nintendo's new third-person action shooter game for the Wii U console. Challenge your friends in chaotic four-on-four matches, in which the goal is to get your ink on as many places as possible and claim your turf, all while strategically submerging yourself in your team's colors and blasting your enemies. This is a colorful and chaotic online third-person action shooter – exclusively on Wii U.*

FEATURES:

Team up and take on other teams in an action-filled battle to cover the level with as much ink as possible. Spray walls to access hard-to-reach areas.
Covering more territory with ink unlocks powered-up super weapons that can be used to attack rivals or cover more turf.
Strategy is everything. Defeat enemies to splatter them in an explosion of ink, covering more turf for your team. But choose wisely: Players who only go after the enemy might find their turf redecorated in their enemies' colors.
Refill ink tanks, hide from opponents or move faster by turning into a squid and diving into the ink with the tap of a button.
Select between multiple control options on the Wii U GamePad controller, including using gyroscopic controls to look around, allowing for better aiming and control.
Hop online and battle in four-on-four matches.
*Broadband Internet access required for online play. For more info, go to support.nintendo.com.
Additional accessories required for multiplayer mode; sold separately.

Now go update the OP ;)

This looks great. I'm excited for it. So many shooters these days look the same so I like the route Nintendo went. First, it's third person so I can actually play this. Second, the gameplay is a refreshing change of pace. There are so many different approaches. Do you keep shooting ink on the ground? Do you go after opposing players? Third, I like the art direction. For the type of game this is, it's appropriate. Also, I'm glad Nintendo opted against making this another Mii game. Mii work well in mini-game collections that have no central theme. Splatoon has so much charm and energy because it exists as it's own thing.

I wonder if this will be Nintendo first title to use two Gamepads. It totally should.

I'd love to see these characters in Super Smash Bros. but I'd love to see every Nintendo character in Super Smash Bros.

I didn't really dig it until I heard the developers talking about it. There's a whole slew of depth to this game. It's easily the most creative shooting game I've seen in years; like TimeSplitters 2 years.

Ian, if you think paintball is just for kids, watch Community they make paintball look pretty friggin intense. Also I think there was a Friday the 13th that had a gorey paintball scene in it too. This games looks fucking awesome Nintendo I am starting to get more interested in your machine.

Looks cool, BUT
they need wiimote pointer controls AND local co-op options.
But the idea is very inventive, maybe the most original and thought out FPS since TF2.

When I first played Mario Sunshine I thought it should have been a new IP and Mario should have been left out of it. When I first heard of this and people were still talking about Mario Paintball I felt the same, I am GLAD that Mario is not in this game even if it would have been a nice little throw back to Sunshine, a game I still wish had never happened.

It was mentioned earlier elsewhere on this site but it's good to mention again: it was great for Nintendo to highlight the work of these younger devs and give them on-screen time in the Direct to talk about their work. I hope Nintendo keeps them off the established franchises for now and just give them free reign to design and create new IPs.
