Splatoon Makes it's Mark in Japan

[FyreeTSG]

...AND OTHER INK RELATED PUNS

The latest and, in no real surprising manner, BIGGEST game on Wii U is Splatoon, which has already reached pinnacles that most people couldn't have predicted, in Japan--as the game has nearly sold out across the country, and even the Splatoon Inkling amiibos are hitting over 100,000 sold.

That's 97% of the stock for the game itself have sold, and over 90% of the unique NFC figurines.

Nintendo is quickly making sure each retailer has enough stock to cover the madness, and these numbers aren't even 100% clear--plus they only cover Japan, and not the rest of the Ink-Splattered globe.

Expect to see SIMILAR numbers elsewhere soon.

AS for one of the most unique IP's to come from The BIG N in years, one can safely count it as a HIT, and I half expect to see a 3DS rendition in the near future.
