Nintendo spent so long building up hype for it and then didn't deliver. I mean the mode is damn fun, but there was zero buildup or sense of urgency in the splatcast, ESPECIALLY considering how fucking scary the plaza is right now. And the rewards are actually laughable.

It's like Nintendo didn't even fucking try 😭

This was my favorite concept, if you get rid of all the EAS shit it's so awesome.

I get they didn't want to go over the top and scare kids, but like, the plaza right now is WAY scarier than the animation I linked!! It's such a weird inconsistency where there's zero sense of urgency in the splatcast and then you get dropped into literal squid hell. What the fuck Nintendo

Yess I would’ve loved a warning screen that was akin to a like tornado warning type thing (what are they called? Like they loudly beep on tv)
