The anti-cheat system that Nintendo employed in Splatoon 2 as a response to desperate pleas from their consumers has completely and utterly failed, as a deluge of videos depicting hackers playing in online matches have splashed onto social media.
Nintendo finally bothered to implement an anti-cheat system only after a “friendly” hacker hijacked the leaderboards pleading for it, as the game was starting to get overrun by jealous players illegally modifying their weapons and characters to give themselves an unfair advantage.
Worse yet was the fact that these hackers began to emerge only days before Nintendo was planning to launch their online service, most certainly a preview of what all the highly despised service was about to offer – several videos demonstrating how common hackers have become in the game:
It seems the leaderboards were also hacked several times as well, with a hacker also managing to reach the number 1 spot:
not even surprised honestly
Well, back to work nintendo….wait i meant back to ignoring the problem untill it becomes unavoidable.
That is the nintendo way.
Oh wow and they managed to do it without cloud saves. Seems like cloud saves aren’t linked to hacking, imagine that Nintendo.
How would cloud saves even be related to it in the first place unless their cloud platform itself is vulnerable?
Microsoft, Sony, and PC figured it out. I guess it’s just beyond Nintendo’s capabilities to figure it out. “Pay us for the privilege of having any sort of save backup… except for certain games because we’re too dumb to figure out anticheat”
?? There are hackers on every single platform, including ps4 and xbox.
“Figured it out”?
You do know that hackers are out of control on Steam, right?

LOL
I’d love to know what kind of trashy games and servers you play on.
I rarely see any cheaters on the games i play.
What games are those exactly ? last time i checked CS:GO and dota 2 had a good anti hacking system in place with player reports and the external tool to check zoom hack on dota 2
Pulling out the ethernet cable makes all the bad men go away!
What if that isn’t a hacker? Maybe it actually is God.
Could be, maybe God has just given up on intervening on human actions considering us a lost cause and just keeps us around for entertainment.
You can still reach him and ask for help. But you have to offer something of equal value to him.
Shut up Edward.
I’d offer him a little girl and her dog but I don’t think he likes seeing them separated.
I’ll give him some bread I baked in a brick oven using my own turds as fuel for the fire. Ezekiel 4:12
Grandpa Nintendo at it again.
