So what would Splatoon single player be like? First thing that comes to mind is bosses, complex, engaging ones. Then limited ammo not just continuous fire. Enemies need to be different, maybe some with sheilds, you have to use specific moves to beat them like pop up from below or squid up walls and drop down on top of.

I guess a story, something, anything to engage the player, maybe they live in Toonland and there's a tyrannical yada yada. Levels built not like arenas, but more like a 3rd person shooter. Some natural levels too not industrial, natural geography. Underwater bases?

Stealth takedowns? Grenades? Maybe some water pools like in De Blob for wiping off muck which weighs you down.

Probably a glorified tutorial.

I fear the SP will be exactly the same was multiplayer, except with bots.

That's be better than a tutorial.

Wii U only 3k ahead of Vita lol.

I was right, Hyrule Warriors had dungeons and was veering towards being more like a proper Zelda game:

Aonuma: Early on, there was actually a version that had a dungeon in it that had more traditional Zelda like puzzle solving elements to it. After looking at that piece and that stage, and realizing that it was so far away from what a Dynasty Warriors game is, they decided to eliminate that.

I seriously hope Microsoft doesn't buy Capcom...I feel they would go the way of Rareware. MS would milk the brand names for a few games until people caught on that they're lost in space, then they would disappear in obscurity.

Capcom need to be part of a company who can improve their quality control and turn their franchises in the right direction. That company is Nintendo. Seriously, what a perfect fit. Give Capcom a kick in the ass and give Nintendo an instant stable of mature games like they've never had before. All exclusive.

What about Sony?

Not sure about Capcom they used to be one of my favourite developers but now there's not much I look forward too outside RE. I agree they need quality control and focus.

Nintendo should buy Capcom.

If I had a dime for every time I heard/read someone state that "Nintendo should buy developer that or another".  It won't happen.  Nintendo seems more comfortable in buying or cooperating with smaller devs which they can guide and assist than taking over large devs with their own burocratic workflows.

Yeah but Nintendo should still buy Capcom.

By the way, you know what still rocks? River City Ransom. God awful controls and menus that aged like an apple slice aside, it is still insanely fun. Really makes me wish the guys doing the sequel weren't morons.

In this case it's a large publisher with multiple dev teams.

Sony could probably help Capcom as well, but it's wishful thinking to want them to join forces with Nintendo.  I'd like to see it simply to see it boost the Big N's sales, maybe.  Imagine what they could do with old franchises under some guidance by Nintendo.  

You know what I'd really like to see? The Japanese development community coming togther on one console to make like an opposing force to all the western focus in gaming. Someone or something to boost and maintain high quality standards for the old Japanese publishers.
