If you’re a Splatoon 3 player interested in playing Rainmaker in Anarchy Battle, you’ll be out of luck for a bit. Nintendo has confirmed that the mode has been temporarily pulled.
The company said on social media that Rainmaker was taken out from the rotation in Anarchy Battle. This is due to a bug that can cause the score counter to immediately go to one when touching a checkpoint. Thankfully Nintendo is on the case, and an update will be distributed soon to address the situation. The company also apologized for any inconvenience caused.

[Review] Splatoon 3
Posted on 2 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: September 9, 2022
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
It’s hard to believe that such a fresh property like Splatoon has already been around for seven years, but Nintendo’s IP that introduced the cute little humanoid squids known as Inklings quickly resonated with fans despite being on the commercial failure that was the Wii U. It was when Splatoon 2 took off, however, that the franchise truly found its following thanks to the Switch’s success. Interestingly, the quick turnaround rate of two years for Splatoon 2 to release made the game feel almost too familiar. But to the uninitiated, Splatoon 2 gave those same feelings that Splatoon 1 did to those that owned a Wii U. Meanwhile, Splatoon 3 had a chance to marinate for years – five years to be exact – and has seen vast improvements to the overall structure of the game and its heavily-focused online portion that doesn’t feel anywhere near as dated, bringing the game and its multiplayer inking glory to the modern day while looking as beautiful as ever.
