Both are being based around notable video game series that originated on Nintendo consoles and share vibrant upbeat settings and storytelling as well too.  

Splatoon and Little Devils are two comedy manga mainly centering on a group of young non-human characters—squid-hybrids called Inklings in the former, and demon children in the latter. One of these series may not be as kid-friendly as the other, but the sense of humor in both series can feel very similar, especially when it comes to some juvenile no-clothes humor. There's also an overall upbeat tone and silly situations, although Splatoon likes to feature chapters with higher stakes and Little Devils being more slice-of-life. 

Splatoon and Yo-Kai Watch are two kodomo manga series that are based off of relatively known Nintendo game series, loosely featuring aspects present in the actual games to make more room for some kind of narrative and mostly comedic gags. The comedy is pretty cartoony and not unlike what you can kind in some manga in the same demographic, and non-human characters have similar roles of straight man, wacky types, and ambiguously antagonistic types. 

Splatoon and Fairy Idol Kanon are two kodomo manga about a group of four characters working together to accomplish a certain goal together, whether it being a well-respected, top-ranked sports team or a popular idol group. There's a bit of comedy in both, but the similarities in my opinion are more easily found with the kind of moral or message most (if not all) chapters convey to the reader through our main characters—such as focusing more on having fun and teamwork. 

Splatoon and Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure are two manga series loosely based off of popular first-party video game titles from Nintendo, featuring the world and internal logic of their respective games as context for (occasionally) differing narratives. The main characters and comedy in both manga are very similar to each other, yet don't exactly have a 1-to-1 counterpart in the actual games. Chapters follow a similar and somewhat rigid format of a intriguing fight and an epic final attack taking up a good amount of space. 

Splatoon and Stitch are two gag manga series featuring characters and the world of popular media properties (former being a Nintendo game series and the latter being a spin-off anime series based off of a popular Disney movie). The kind of simple narratives and characters, as well as sense of humor, are similar and not unlike what you'd find in most manga aimed at kids. The goofy main characters Goggles-kun and Stitch are extremely similar, for example, as well as female straight-man-types Headphones-chan and Yuna.
