As a Splatoon fan and a roguelike fan I'm *really* looking forward to Side Order. While we can't tell for sure until after it comes it releases, it looks like it could be amazing. However I'm kind of worried about how successful it will be. Roguelike/lites aren't for everyone so there still could be a large portion of the Splatoon player base that won't give it a chance. At the same time there are certainly a lot of roguelike likers who don't have Splatoon, and having to pay $85 for the bundle is a pretty high barrier to entry if they are simply interested in checking out Side Order. I know that part of the hope for the DLC is that it will drive more interest into Splatoon 3 as a whole, but given that it's a pretty distinct genre of it's own (unlike Octo Expansion which, while really well done, was kind of extension/improvement of the single player levels from the base game), I'm worried that the base of players it will attract to the main game might be more limited. I'm open to having my mind changed though. Thoughts?
