    I'm gonna post my reasons for both below.

    Splatoon 2 - Pros
    • It's actually a new game, sort-of
    • I liked Splatoon
    • I can play it with my friends online!
    • I can play with streamers!
    Splatoon 2 - Cons
    • I'm not good at shooters
    • Nobody likes the guy with the roller
    • My siblings would get mad at me for disowning them
    Mario Kart 8 DX - Pros
    • I'm really good at it
    • I can play it with everyone, irl and online!
    • It's got Splatoon in it
    • I'll be more engaged than with Splatoon
    Mario Kart 8 DX - Cons
    • There's only so much I can do
    • I already have it on the Wii U with all the DLC
    • It's still just Mario Kart

    Splatoon 2. You'll have more fun overall.

    I'd actually agree with this sentiment. MK8 is a very good game, don't get me wrong, but the gameplay is also very samey, and not a lot of things get mixed up. With Splatoon 2 (and the original Splatoon by extension, though I know that's a moot point now), there are a lot of small things to customise and edit, to make your character something unique and special. It isn't just the weapon choice that matters (even though that's a huge factor based on the online mode you're playing); even small things like choice of gear/clothing is a factor.

    I think Splatoon 2 gives you a lot more to do as well, and keeps things fresh and exciting as it does so. Plus, Splatoon meme posts are hilarious.

    I know I voted MK8 DX, but I'm super indecisive and could've picked Splatoon 2 out of a 50/50 chance.

    I own neither game. I'm such a square.

    ...I wasn't even trying to do that.

    Wow.

    I'm apparently on my A-game and I didn't even notice.

    become a squid. While MK8 is super fun, i personally had more fun in splatoon when i tried out the demo for 2. Really though, cant you just buy one now then save up for the other one later?

    With Super Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem Warriors and Pokken DX coming out, I'll only have enough money to choose one XD

    What a hard decision. Maybe Splatoon 2?

    I would say Splatoon 2! The first game is fun, so the second one should be even more fun. I also have Mario Kart 8 (the pleb one), but I find myself having longer play sessions with Splatoon that MK. And they're currently releasing free DLC for Splatoon 2 and have monthly events for it.

    if you ever see the guy with the roller kill him with your own roller

    I'd get Mario Kart myself, but my opinion is probably biased, since I only play racing games. Lol

    There is no "just" when it comes to Mario Kart. ^_^
