Nintendo shows no mercy: Team Jackpot, which won the Splatoon 3 World Championship, cannot celebrate the title of world champion. But: it’s their own fault.
Nintendo’s world championships often end up in the headlines for unpleasant reasons. The Splatoon 3 World Championship 2024 and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe World Championship 2024 were not without drama. The events were originally scheduled to take place in January as part of Nintendo Live 2024, but had to be postponed due to security concerns after various death threats.
Both events took place in April and, bang, they’re in the headlines again. This time it’s about Team Jackpot, which won the world championship title at the Splatoon 3 World Championship 2024 in April. The team can’t be happy about it, as the title was subsequently revoked by Nintendo.
The reason for this is racist comments and comments from some members of the team, and at the lowest level. Two of the players in particular were extremely negative. supporting documents
In a Statement Nintendo of America now says: “It has come to our attention that some members of Team Jackpot, the team that recently won the Splatoon 3 World Championship, have been behaving in a manner while playing Splatoon 3 that is inconsistent with our Community Guidelines.”
It continues: “As a result, Team Jackpot’s victory will be considered void and the team will not receive any trophies for the event. Additionally, the in-game splash tag banner commemorating the team’s victory will be adjusted in an upcoming software update. Nintendo cares deeply about our players and our community, and we take our responsibility to uphold our Community Guidelines very seriously.”
Shortly before the release of the DLC pack “Sider Order” in just over a week, Nintendo gives you a comprehensive overview of the new expansion to the fun shooter in this trailer.
