Nice. I am not a big MP fan, but it's nice to see that they fixed the complaints.
Nor am I. Last time I got into any of them was when I enjoyed playing Splatoon 2 for a bit. Unfortunately the matching was really bad when I played, and the disconnections were worse. So you'd get people - probably little kids - on your team who wouldn't play as a team, then one would get disconnected and you'd have zero chace of winning. Even playing my absolute best wasn't enough in those situations. Heck, even if I were matched with all adults, that single disconnect would screw everyone.
I found that ultimately it wasn't fun. No idea if any of that improved over time or if Splatoon 3 was any better. I am now, and always have been, a much bigger fan of single player experiences.
I think Nintendo games in general have bad reputation for their network code. I don't play online much so can't compare, but have seen people regularly complaining about Splatoon, Smash and Mario Kart online issues.
