2023 is almost over but Nintendo is still busy rolling out regular updates for its popular multiplayer squid shooter Splatoon 3.
Following an update earlier this month, Version 6.0.2 has now arrived. It doesn't include any new content but does feature fixes for the multiplayer, Salmon Run mode and various "other" fixes. Early player reports suggest the Big Run reward bug has finally been fixed.
Here's the full rundown via Nintendo's official support page:
Splatoon 3: Ver. 6.0.2 (Released December 21, 2023)
Fixes to Multiplayer
- Adjusted the change in color when affected by the Splattercolor Screen to make it more natural. The screen brightness of the effect itself has also been dimmed.
Fixes to Salmon Run
- Made it possible for those who participated in the Big Run held from 12/2 to 12/4 and did not properly receive the decorations or badges for their scores to acquire the decorations and badges they should have received.
- You can acquire them by entering the lobby after applying this update.
Other Fixes
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused a communication error to occur when players who have seen the news about the start of a new season and players who have not seen it communicate in the Shoal.
Note: Compatible with Ver. 6.0.1 and Ver. 6.0.0 battle replays. Not compatible with Ver. 5.2.0 or earlier battle replays.

I updated and checked to see if I still had the silver decoration too. Which I indeed do, so now I have silver AND gold. Neat! I think.
So yes it seems the Big Run issue is finally fixed.
Yipeee! Alright, now the wait for side order continues…sigh
I'm here to help confirm that this bizarre glitch has finally come to an end. It's too bad we missed out on the splatcast dialogue for the end of the Big Run but I'm just so glad to finally get both my gold egg decoration and gold Big Run badge to care. Nintendo fixing Splattercolor Screen at the same time is the cherry on top.
Now may we please have some info on FrostyFest, Nintendo?
Has anyone affected checked to see if Screen is still causing problems?

@Shade_Koopa Snowflakes?
Sorry if some people have issues with overly bright *****.
@Shade_Koopa Very insensitive of you, don't be like that. There are people who genuinely get ill from how that special works, you have no place to call them out for it.
That said, I think the special was, and still is, bad. This giant screen still blocks your team's view too so you can still cause your own team grief by using it, the sound is still terrible, and I still don't think the gray effects of this thing are very pleasant either. Terrible special on paper, terrible special in practice. It should have never been implemented and I hope it never returns in future games.
@Croctopus Frostyfest is the weekend of January 13–15 according to the SplatoonJP account.
Theme is a spin on the Family/Friends theme which is now “When you have a day off, do you have fun with friends, relax with family, or relax by yourself?”

The Salmon Run bug seemed to be fixed for me after the last patch, but I'm glad they're still addressing it for those who were still having the issue.
@Shade_Koopa How dare those people with health issues want to enjoy video games like everyone else!
Seriously, have some empathy and consideration for others. More people being able to enjoy video games is a good thing.

@Shade_Koopa At least you're aware of how awful you are, and I personally hope that changes to games that allow others to enjoy them makes you even more miserable.
As Wario would say, "Have a rotten day!" and welcome to my Ignore list
@Shade_Koopa The heck is wrong with you dude. There's plenty of people who enjoyed the game perfectly fine before the screen showed up. So the game is essentially ruined for those people if the screen remains in such a way that it stays harmful to them.
And as I said before it's not your place to judge them. People have a right to enjoy video games as much as you do, and have a right to call out if a game suddenly becomes a problem for them when said game wasn't a problem before. If that's a problem for you, then that's just it, YOUR problem.
Guess you're gonna be team Solo in the upcoming Splatfest, since I don't see anyone wishing to spend the holidays with someone with your attitude. Grow as a person please and learn some compassion for your fellow people.

@Shade_Koopa So people sensitive to certain effects in video games that makes them ill are stupid? That's a new one.
Think I'll join FoxyDude in putting you on my ignore list though, mister sociopath. I typically don't do that, but for someone who openly admits to bring a terrible person, I feel it's justified. Feel free to leave any kind of snarky response, I won't be able to see it anyway.
Hope you have a good time on team Solo though.
@Yosher Whatever makes ya feel better. Your choice to ignore the issue entirely. XP
@Shade_Koopa. You are 100% not a sociopath, you're just an edgy child who thinks its cool to be "dark" and say "controversial" things online. Everyone has seen it, and no one is scared or impressed. Just because you have no friends doesn't make you a sociopath.

@Shade_Koopa Calling people snowflakes while ending every comment with emoticons is the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in these comment sections.

@Sourcecode I largely agree honestly. Splatoon 2 felt like a more proper step up from the first game, than 3 was from 2. The only things that Splatoon 3 really did better is introducing new mechanics like squid surge and squid roll, everything else I feel 2 did better. Including the overall vibe of the game.
Not to say 3 is bad by any means, but the only reason I play 3 over 2 right now is because 3 still gets frequent updates and events. If both games had released at the same time and/or if 2 still got updates to this day I'd be playing that one instead.
