Artist's Note:
I want this game. Badly. Seriously. Every time I watch the video for Splatoon, I feel my inner child brimming with utter joy. The colors, the game's aesthetic, and its utter charm has entranced me. In fact, I'm sorely tempted to get a TV & Wii U now.
But alas, I shall keep to my spartan lifestyle, until I can justify such purchases. But that temptation is there, simmering within the dark recesses of my mind, ready to latch onto any opportunity to get this game.
Writer's Note:
So the point here is that apparently Nintendo has a thing for anthropomorphic cephalopods that goes all the way back to 1980 (when Mr. Game & Watch first came out). Not that this is strange or anything, as the Japanese seem to have a thing for cephalopods in general. They even have an emoticon for it. <コ:彡
(I'd make a Japanese tentacle porn joke here, but decided this comic was way too classy for that kind of humor)
