Splatoon, on the other hand, is totally different. The single player in Splatoon is the afterthought. The story, in my opinion, is not…

Once A Upon A Time, Capcom was making exclusive Resident Evil games for a Nintendo system.  Capcom made Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0 just for the Gamecube. Then, they made Resident Evil 4.
