Ninty uncovered Splatoon 3 aaages ago. Now it’s time for players to add a new lick of paint (or thousands). First, fashion a fresh look for your ink-free character. Then get messy. We love how many ways there are to splat-a-tat-tat! Sink some ink in the sweet story mode. Crack cool puzzles with a range of wild weapons. Those paint-splashing blasters are the raddest the series has seen. Plus, use a chuckable Smallfry called Little Buddy to unlock big faraway prizes. Splatted the story? Swim into Salmon Run for cool co-op and epic boss brawls. Then leap into the Lobby to practice for epic online splat-fests with stacks of modes. Or have a sweet Splatoon 3 Switch party and link up with legendary mates for local WiFi firefights. Wanna break from the peak player painting? Sniff out hundreds of cards in the game world. Then build a deck to tackle tricky threats in Tetris-like tile tussles.

PRO TIP!

Turn off the motion controls in settings if they feel a bit weird, but it’s totes worth mastering them eventually. Comboing bigger right-stick view shifts with smaller motion-control accuracy is a winner. Tweak the sensitivity in settings if it feels off, but this is the best way to accurately splat attack in Splatoon 3!
