For essentially the most half, I don’t have a canine within the hut in the case of Splatoon 3 Splatfests. I imply positive, generally it is perhaps vital for Ganondorf to beat out Hyperlink and Zelda (he has actual edgy Venom/Shadow vitality that needs to be celebrated) when I’ve nothing higher to do this week. However the outcomes for this explicit Splatfest are too spicy to not share.

In response to a tweet from Nintendo over the weekend, Cash beat out Fame and Like to take the golden crown. There’s one thing totally terrifying about seeing the phrase “Cash Wins!” popping up in a cute little paintball recreation that includes squid youngsters. At the very least it wasn’t a blowout!

How is Splatoon 3 as 2023 rolls on?

Effectively, it’s regular.

I don’t assume anybody anticipated Epic Video games/Fortnite-level help for this third iteration, however issues have slowed down significantly after Nintendo introduced the Inkpolis DLC roughly 5 months after launch. Till that time Splatoon 3 was sitting fairly, using on the wave of ranked play, Salmon Run, and Tableturf Battle. At launch, Splatoon 3 had a good unfold of modes that saved folks enjoying all through the vacation season, bolstered by the aforementioned Splatfest occasions.

Afterward, the cracks started to indicate a bit, which Nintendo has addressed considerably with quality-of-life patches. A bonafide event system can also be on the way in which, as is a second campaign-focused DLC referred to as Aspect Order. However till these issues hit, a variety of lapsed gamers are understandably specializing in different video games.

It’ll be attention-grabbing to see how Nintendo handles a possible Splatoon 4. It appears like (creatively at the very least) they should go the spinoff route at this level, as they’ve possible squeezed all of the juice they’ll out of the essential format launched in Splatoon 1 all the way in which again in 2015.
