The Ikasu Booth – a portable demonstration booth – returns to help market Splatoon 2 in Japan.These booths have been used for the original Splatoon in the past, so it’s no surprise that they’ve returned for Splatoon 2. The booths have taken on many forms in the past depending on the whether it was being used to demonstrate the game, or for a Tournament.
At the time of a Turf War, the enjoyable, moving battle test booth 「Ikasu Booth」 is active.
And so, in conjunction with the Splatoon 2 release, a newly re-modeled booth is revealed – a renewal!
Booth stations are placed side by side, and the design has been re-modeled with a Splatoon 2 theme – it’s a total re-imagining.

These types of stations used to be commonplace in the 90s and early 00s, but have since dropped off in popularity. I think they could still prove effective in some capacity, especially with the pick up and play factor the Switch is so good at promoting.
