One of the most anticipated titles that would be coming to the Nintendo Switch since its announcement would arguably have been Splatoon 2. The first game was a massive hit with fans, which brought a new IP to a fanbase that are used to entries in the already established mainstay series based around Nintendo’s biggest and most well known characters.
Splatoon 2, which was showcased to bring Nintendo to the eSports stage, launched recently to critical acclaim, something that Nintendo has enjoyed plenty of as of late. The latest entry in the colorful series has boasted some very impressive sales since its launch, particularly in its country of origin. In Japan, sales for the sequel have come in at over 648,000 units sold, and that is just in that single country.
Nintendo’s method of working seems to differ a lot to other heavy hitters in the industry. Rather than regular stock and releases, they put their focus in bringing out few titles, which wouldn’t usually seem to be a good move for a company in the gaming world. Yet with the release of Splatoon 2, plus the overwhelming success of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, their strategy is working very well.
