Splatoon producer discusses his approach to online play, open to sequel

Coming from a GamesMaster interview with Splatoon producer Hisashi Nogami...

“We’ve dealt with online multiplayer in a number of titles up until now, but this was the first time we’d taken up the challenge of releasing a package game where multiplayer was the main mode. We were not 100 percent sure about how a few sections would be received, and so we’re really happy to see them being well received not only by experienced online gamers, but by a really broad range of players including children and female players too; it’s a real confidence boost. If we have the chance in the future, I’d like to build on online gameplay even more."

Mr. Nogami also touched upon the idea of a sequel for Splatoon.

We want to raise this new IP with care, so maybe we’ll get a chance to make it happen if players support us.”
