Splatoon originally debuted as a Nintendo's Wii U game and while the Wii U console was a flop, it was a flop with a bunch of killer games. Stuff like "Super Mario Maker" and "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze" were underappreciated gems, handicapped by the console they were exclusive to - the Wii U.

And then there's "Splatoon," an excellent new series first introduced on the Wii U back in 2015.
