Should I preorder Splatoon?

[PigMayor]

So, I recently played most of the time allotted for the Test fire today, and I want to preorder, but part of me is hesitant. So now, I want your opinion; Should I go the full 100% and pre-order? If so, where? and if no, should I wait for the release? I would like to know your decisions or preferences on this, as I sometimes tend to mak bad decisions.

Hmm , Splatoon is a really fun game and I believe that almost everyone had much fun in the Test Fire thing today . I am supposing that many people are going to pre-order the game and play it so if you really REALLY want the game , then you should pre-order it , though I'd say that allow a few days more on deciding your decision

I think you should go for it and pre order it honestly. It's a really fun game and looking at the testfire game play I must say that it looks like a lot of fun and probably worth a pre order. Plus pre ordering the game makes it seem more special in a way xD.

Pre ordering is easy to do and easy to cancel. So there's no real lost in doing so. It sounds like you had fun with the demo and it will be the new hot thing for a bit for the Wii U. I don't think you get anything besides the smash mii splatoon costumes if you pre order at Gamestop.

If you enjoyed the testfire, and hyped for the story-mode, tons more equipment, and cool ranking-modes, pre-order it. If you don't, and decide to get it somewhere when's it's already released, it'll be hard to get a copy cause it'll sell out QUICK. Especially Gamestop, if you talk with the workers you'll learn Nintendo usually doesn't send big shipments into the store, and it'll sell out fast. Your best thing would be pre-order it.

I would wait for a while since the game is far still to be released, it is like 15 days or so. And i am going to tell you why, if i am not mistaken, they have anounced that those people who downloaded the testfire demo of the game would have a discount on the eshop. I think they said it in the direct or somewhere, still there's no actual discount on pre-order purchase. So let's just wait till the release and see what they anounce

I guess if you are really hyped for Splatoon, which you should be as it has a great sytle of gameplay (like Battle Bears Gold but nobody knows about that ;_ and has unique touch and is for Will U!!! I really want it but it ain't for 3DS as yeah

This is more because of my personal experience, but we seem to have a similar situation.
I don't think you should. See what critics say first before buying it if you're hesitant. We don't know how expansive this content is actually going to be.

We know that there's gonna be TONS OF CONTENT. Maybe not the day it's released, but through the summer more maps will come, a new main weapon, different battle modes, amiibos, etc. There was even gonna have festivals in-game. The content is gonna grow a LOT. Nintendo has said a lot about DLC (all free), so, saying "We don't even know how expansive it's gonna be" is kind of foolish.

If there are tons of people in your area pre-ordering the Splatoon, then it might not be delivered on time due to back-orders. Then again, the game might be out of stock in local retailers. You should do whichever one you're most comfortable with.
