Players could go through the tutorial, walk around town, cast their vote for the Splatfest, and try out weapons in Turf War and Tricolor battles. Team Rock was announced as the Splatfest winner, and the event ended in a great success.

People bustle under the neon lights and idols dance, but once it\u2019s over, the town goes back to its (relatively) normal and quiet self. In <em>Splatoon 3<\/em>, however, there\u2019s also a post-festival cleanup phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter user and YouTuber @R_GameTV posted images of the cleanup effort on their Twitter account. In the images we can see trucks, piles of equipment, and cardboard boxes stuffed with garbage scattered around town giving the area a post-festival feeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>@R_GameTV wasn\u2019t the only one to see the cleanup effort, though, and I (the original author of this article) was able to confirm the objects for myself just after the Splatfest. You could say <em>Splatoon<\/em>\u2019s Splatfests really do capture the festival atmosphere, even down to the post-event cleanup phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u524d\u591c\u796d\u7d42\u4e86\u76f4\u5f8c\u306e\u30d0\u30f3\u30ab\u30e9\u8857\u3001\u3042\u3061\u3053\u3061\u306b<br>\u5c71\u7a4d\u307f\u306e\u30b4\u30df\u888b\u3084\u6bb5\u30dc\u30fc\u30eb\u304c\u3042\u308b\u2026\u2026\u7d30\u304b\u3059\u304e\u308b\u2026\u2026<br> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%82%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B33?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30b9\u30d7\u30e9\u30c8\u30a5\u30fc\u30f33<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Splatoon3?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Splatoon3<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E5%89%8D%E5%A4%9C%E7%A5%AD?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u524d\u591c\u796d<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NintendoSwitch?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NintendoSwitch<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ONUGgP5A3v\">pic.twitter.com\/ONUGgP5A3v<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30ec\u30a6\u30f3 (@R_GameTV) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/R_GameTV\/status\/1563862610919182336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 28, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>There are piles of trash and cardboard boxes scattered around Splatsville just after the Splatfest\u2026 So much attention to detail\u2026<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>What\u2019s interesting is how this cleanup scene is already inaccessible.

With that said, it\u2019s a very <em>Splatoon<\/em>-like attention to detail. Just like festivals in the real world have to be cleaned up, it adds an extra sense of immersion to <em>Splatoon<\/em>\u2019s world and shows putting on events isn\u2019t all fun and games. And those who saw it may even have some bragging rights until the game comes out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Splatoon 3<\/em> is scheduled to release on September 9. Furthermore, the official <em>Splatoon<\/em> Twitter account commented that matchmaking and Tricolor battles will continue to be improved after launch.<br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Written by.
