I’d love to play it with my niece and nephew if the game had a split screen mode. Not going to happen if they need a Switch and a copy of the game each.
Splatoon 1 actually had local multiplayer - it was 2-player only, but for those of us with kids, it was good enough. Split screen multiplayer in Splatoon 2/3 would’ve been great.

Usually my younger siblings wait until I’m done with work — they’re in earlier time zones than I am, so they’re being polite — then the group chat lights up: “Splat.” “Splat.” “Splat.”
In the interest of bonding, I started hanging out with them on FaceTime while we played Animal Crossing together.
Our pandemic family video game hangouts never really ended, so now I am logging serious hours on Splatoon.
For the uninitiated, it’s a third-person shooter, but a family-friendly one; the idea is to paint as much space in a map as possible.
I am writing this, in part, because my younger siblings have some complaints, and they would like me to abuse my position of power (?)
When I lived in New York after college, video games were a fun way to hang out with my downstairs neighbor after work.

Sure, if Splatoon 3 were actually good. It’s a game designed from the ground up to be frustrating, between terrible matchmaking, peer-to-peer multiplayer, and stage design that forces players into very lopsided combat.
Play something good with your family, not Splatoon 3.
How dare someone else like something you don’t!!! And with their family?! The sick fuck
Pretty much nothing you said is true, it was not “designed from the ground up to be frustrating” and the other statements are too vague to even bother attacking. “Not even wrong” is the phrase that comes to mind.
You didn’t even mention an example of a game which would count as “something good”.
