Splatoon Raiders Is Unlike Any Nintendo Game I've Ever Seen

Splatoon Raiders just got its own Direct. It looks fun. It looks polished. But something feels sorta off, and I think I know what it is. Every preview compares it to a completely different game. Vampire Survivors. Borderlands. Roguelite. Ratchet and Clank. Nintendo games are almost never this undefined. So what exactly happened here? After 16 years covering Nintendo, this is the first time I've watched a first-party Direct and walked away unsure what genre I just saw. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 - Something Feels Off 0:35 - What The Direct Actually Showed 1:21 - Vampire Survivors?!? 2:33 - What Genre Is Splatoon Raiders? 4:27 - Was This Pasted Together? 5:16 - Why Is It $50?! 7:18 - Why This One Feels Different 9:02 - Why I'm Still Buying It 🔔 Subscribe for honest Nintendo coverage #SplatoonRaiders #NintendoSwitch2 #Switch2 #Nintendo #Splatoon #SwitchForce #NintendoDirect #Switch2Games #Splatoon4 ➡️ Follow everything Nintendo Switch 2 on Twitter:   / theswitchforce   📷 Follow Zach on Instagram:   / zach_sf   💻 Join the Nintendo Switch 2 Community on Discord:   / discord   #nintendoswitch2 #nintendo #switch2
