'Team Presents' Unwraps A Win In Splatoon 3's 'Frosty Fest' Splatfest

Does Nintendo want Big Man to always win seasonal Splatfests or what? Not only does he get white ink again but even gifts compared to just money or memories. This is already over before it's even begun! What a joke.

Yep, I'm going with Shiver's team. It doesn't help that I have to work both days that weekend, so I'm just going to grind my way to Ruler rank to take photos with Shiver and Deep Cut and that will be it.

It's good that Splatoon 2's Frosty Fest headgear is coming back at the very least. Those were all neat. I'll happily wear my Twisty Headband for obvious reasons!

Money can buy experiences and presents! Money can do anything...money money money money

Hopefully we have third kits?
Please I beg of you Nintendo.
Bring back wall in Blob and you will have my unwavering loyalty.

@Dev1024 Why resist big man’s festive aura? It is my mission to keep Big Man’s seasonal splatfest win streak. Shiver already has so many wins, poor Frye is sitting alone in a corner with her big forehead, what a shame.

Money can buy experiences and presents.

I voted for experiences before I thought of that…

Team Money! The logical choice.

@Xenoblade-Fan I never want to see anyone complain about that time Shiver won five Splatfests in a row again. That wasn't going to last forever. I'm legit worried that Big Man will always win the rest of these things. That's the real problem. Shiver's actually had a long losing streak since April. She's been humbled enough!

I'd be OK with it if Frye could somehow win this one, but at least she got Teams Bucket List and Rice.

Why does no one pick their Splatfest team by the theme anymore? I hate that they’re connected to the idols. Anyway, I’m picking team experiences but money’s definitely gonna win, especially since they literally already did

It’s either Experiences or Presents for me, although knowing I’d get greedy for Christmas gifts, I’d probably end up choosing Presents

I mean yeah as said before, Money can buy both of the other two. May as well just go for money.

Dunno yet what I'll actually go for though.

This makes me so happy.... I was worried tomorrow's Gachi King Cup Finals would give us a FrostyFest announcement, but now we have yet another reason to believe it will be 3rd kits!! And that also sways my decision.... Team Experiences for me!

Team Presents. When you're an adult, no one gives you presents during the holidays except for your friends. Money is cool but I like it better when other people buy me presents. Experiences are fine but the presents are the experience for me lol.

@CaleBoi25 how much time does it take to actually give us third kits? They can easily give them to us. I hope you’re right.

Christmas is just not the same without presents. I love to feel like a kid.

@Xenoblade-Fan I guess we will know either tomorrow at 4AM or on the 10th anniversary!

@CaleBoi25 I’m hopeful that we get Splatoon 4 teased on the anniversary. By then Switch 2 will have been revealed and they might be looking to have a popular genre (shooter) on the console near launch to bring more people onto the system.

@Marthstache I was just about to say this. Team money!

Money can be exchanged for presents and experiences!

Money grants security, security grants curiosity, curiosity begets adventure. So.... MONEY!

Money already won a previous Splatfest. Why are they an option again? Anyway, I’m on team experiences

There's also limited NSO icons available to those who take part this weekend. Go, go, go...

I let out an audible "Ooh that's clever" at the 'Your local time' thing.
The other people on the train must think I'm mad!

I'll probably go with experiences

Oh, great, I forgot about this. I've spent the last week fighting off COVID, and haven't had much energy for gaming. I've only just been able to finally play Genshin Impact again.

Maybe once I get through the Archon Quest, I can play the Splatfest. But it will have to be on my Switch Lite, because my OLED Switch is not hooked back up to my TV again. I was planning on getting the rest of my game systems hooked up last weekend, but then came down with COVID instead.

how fitting seeing as im getting a winter storm tonight.

Work is crazy for me today, but I vow to stay up to reach Ruler rank even if it turns into an all-nighter. Let’s cash-in another win, Team Money! Like I had to learn last time, perseverance usually pays off.

_{But if Team Experiences wins, that’s just fine with me. Big Man must Lose…}

Edit: Work wasn’t as crazy as I thought, so I’ll be well-rested to get splatting, even with the weekend still slamming me.

Thanks for the reminder as I witness sleet and freezing rain fall outside my window. Splatfest fits the seasonal occasion just perfectly.

I ended up going with Experiences, because there are many great things that happened that you want to cherish forever.

The obvious answer is money. You can buy all the experiences and present you want. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Team Money for me. I just purchased the game 2 weeks ago and I was prepping for the Splatfest, I did a few on Splatoon 2, this is better I think.

Team Experiences were robbed, I tell ye!

What a BIG surprise. As if I couldn't see that coming from a month away! What is WITH white ink anyway? It doesn't make anything harder to see for me.

I'm not surprised since Team Money sucked in my experience (sorry, Team Experiences) like a popular team often can in Splatoon. I'm just glad I got to play enough knowing how busy I was at work this past weekend. This just felt like more work, not play.

You'll pay in Spring Fest, Big Man! And just in time for tax season in April, too. Until next time...

I know it's impossible to gather but I would really like to know what the choices were by age groups

I hope everyone had a great time.

To me, I found the teams to be ... odd. Unless you sleep on it like a dragon, the only reason you like "money" is the experiences you buy with it, and if you like presents guess what? You like the experience of getting a present. Team superset vs two of it's own subsets?

Mah, still had a blast. And like I always say, we're all winners today.

I swear, there’s got to be balancing issues if the winning team won through the Clout score alone yet again. It wasn’t even close. Even my girlfriend’s sibling, who is more into Splatoon than I am, agrees.

Nintendo REALLY needs to rebalance the game, or fix it come Splatoon 4, because I’m honestly beginning to get annoyed that the winning team keeps taking home the victory through the Clout score alone.

Yay! My team won! Frostyfest is a nice one to experience. Glad to have another whirl in it, even though I was a bit rusty

@AstroTheGamosian Agreed. The matchmaking in Splatfests is more atrocious than ever too. Definitely makes the whole experience feel more of a chore than it needs to be.

So continues my losing streak in Splatoon 3 splatfests.

Though actually I feel like I did my personal best this go around. I guess that's a personal win.

I’m predicting Big Man is gonna win the remaining 2 seasonal Splatfests when those come around, but I don’t wanna jinx anything.

@Princess_Lilly part of me wants the same too, though perhaps not for the same reason. My friend and I just seemed to be paired with lots of novices and/or scrubs and I'm no professional by any means. Had a blast anyway

Edit* i dont mean to sound mean about scrubs, but just baffling and non-strategic gameplay from teammates is all

Cool, the first Splatfest I won in Splatoon 3. Thanks everyone!

@Jack_Goetz Exactly. It felt like a chore. Especially since I was losing more matches than I was winning. It’s frankly a wonder I got to Ruler rank in a single day.

@CammyUnofficial yeah having low skill players in your team is one of the worst feelings in games, it kinda feels unfair.

I just wanted to know, would older people choose experiences more often? Presents are nice and all, but memories created with loved ones are priceless.

Also money kinda is a present if you give it to someone.
