Why didn't Ninjala take off?

so gum research labs was introduced as a kind of perk system; you earn points from games and the battle pass (and you can literally buy them outright) to get stuff like more damage, more bind time, new attacks like a sword projectile and a fucking hammer toss, new specials and increased damage for your ult.
if it sounds bad, it is. it's complete fucking shit to play against fuckers abusing the meta (sushi hammer, katanas, drills) who will bind you with one shot and kill you in three hits. only reason i keep playing is because i like playing dress up but i got very close to quitting with how god damn unfun it is to play against these assholes the umpteenth shitty collab with minimum effort outfits

It's a nintendo exclusive when it should've also came to PC. I don't know the player numbers but I can't imagine its doing better than Knockout City which definitely isn't good. Making a third party multiplayer game exclusive is literal suicide in the long term.

Fail? It's going to have an anime in October.

Why is not this game available on PC/PS4? It looks pretty fun
How is the game woke?

>going to have
It's been airing for well over half a year, user.

I was thinking about this game yesterday, all it fucking needs is to be ported to PC or even other consoles and it'll be a big hit. Why they're committed to hounding the exact same playerbase as Splatoon on the console that already has Splatoon is beyond me, its like if Fortnite was only available on XBox or something.
The anime has been running since January.
I cannot believe they dumped so much money into such a bad anime, they should have just made a like 6 episode OVA with balls to the wall crazy animation or somethiing. Gung Ho has sooooo much fucking money and they're dumping it all into Ninjala for nothing in return.

theres nothing woke about it unless you consider a game having black people woke

The only platform that has people who will play a game that looks like splatoon is the one that has splatoon. It would bomb every where else.

they needed to secretly commission cunny artists, it´s too late

Tell that to Multiversus.

Multiverses has brand recognition, ninjala is a new ip. They’re not comparable.

You're implying that no one outside of the Nintendo userbase would play a game that looks like Splatoon? I don't think that's true at all, in fact it would make it even more appealing for non Switch owners, is a good example of this.

Marketing. I honestly didn't realize it was out until like, 5 months ago

There are scores of games with brand recognition that flop. You're off your shit if you think people would turn their nose up at a Splatoon-like considering just how fucking huge Splatoon has become. Ninjala was able to get like what, 9 million downloads on just the Switch, even if it doesn't match those exact numbers on other consoles, implying its just gonna crash and burn if put on PC or something is just objectively false.
Ninjala is a good, fun and complex game with a lot to like about it, all it actually needs is to not be directly competing with its inspiration.

I’m saying not enough people would. Think about the people who play on Xbox and PC. What games are successful on those platforms?

Nick Smash was also running off of brand recognition and that flopped.
