This past weekend, Kumasan Shokai's " Byte Team Contest " was a very exciting event at the Nintendo Switch " Splatoon 3". The "Splatoon 3" event was a great success on the Nintendo Switch, and since it is now possible to participate even as a solo player, many people must have played the game over and over again to improve the accuracy of their moves. The official Twitter (@SplatoonJP ) will be giving out awards for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and the "perfect middle of the road" prizes to the winning teams! The characters, music, and design of "Splatoon 3" are very appealing, not to mention the gameplay, so a variety of goods are being released, events are being held, and collaborations are also taking place. A "Splatoon 3 Icas Tenjin Walk " is being held in Fukuoka City until July 17, 2023 (Monday, national holiday), and a collaboration event will also be held in the Kanto region! The "Splatoon 3 x Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise Summer Festival" will be held at Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise!

This year's event will be a "summer festival" experience with a "Splatoon 3" theme!
Shooting Navarival Battle
First of all, "Splatoon" is all about "Navarival Battle", so "Shooting Navarival Battle " will be held! The "Shooting Battle" is a shooting corner where players use " Splashooter " and " Tri-Stringer " water guns to knock down matos. The larger the mato, the harder it is to knock down, and the higher the score, so those with confidence in their udemae should aim for them!
任天堂ホームページAll participants will receive ink stickers in their team's colors. These stickers will be pasted on a large map of Hakkeijima, and the yellow and blue teams will gradually expand their territory throughout the event period.
任天堂ホームページIf everyone gets a sticker, the final result is likely to be half-and-half, but the team that wins the shootout gets an additional sticker, so the color with the highest number of wins has the advantage! The final result will depend on the skill of everyone who participates in the "Shooting Navaribari Battle! Participants will also receive an original postcard, so be sure to take the postcard home with you and put the sticker on the map of Hakkeijima. Participation in the "Shooting Battle" will cost 300 yen per participation.
Surimi Rengo's Fair Corner - The most popular fair game at the fair is this one! ～The Surimi Rengo Fair Corner
The best part of a summer festival is the fair! There are a variety of foods and games, but at the "Summer Festival of Cool Guys," a fair corner featuring the well-known "Surimi Union " will be held! Three types of games, "Fuka's Ball Scooping," "Mantaro's Wanage," and "Utsuho's Yo-Yo Fishing, " will be available for children to enjoy with the same rules as at a regular fair. Mothers and fathers may be more active than children. If you play "Utsuho's Yo-Yo Fishing," you will receive either a squid or octopus yo-yo, and if you play "Fuuka's Ball Scooping" or "Mantaro's Wanage," you will receive an original-design fan!
