While Splatoon 3 has received widespread acclaim and sold very well for Nintendo, the game is far from perfect. Players have been dismayed to see the connectivity troubles from previous games persist, and in some cases increase. Splatfests aren’t immune either, with the game’s first post-release Splatfest including a bug that enabled players to win Conch Shells without first joining a team. Many individuals were disappointed because players who joined after earning at least one Conch Shell would not have their shells contribute towards their team’s score. That problem has already been resolved, but with the current Splatfest in full swing, it’s doubtful that this new issue will be resolved before the next Splatfest.
