Are you ready to ink your mark in Splatlands? You’d better be since Splatoon 3 is now available on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, and Nintendo Switch – OLED Model systems.
You can buy the game in the Nintendo eShop, My Nintendo Store, and select retailers for $59.99. Those who have extra can grab the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Splatoon 3 Edition, offered at $74.99. If that’s too high, opt for the Nintendo Switch Carrying Case for $24.99.
Splatoon 3 is a new sequel that can be enjoyed not only by long-time players but also by raw recruits. That’s because there are new features and modes, which have never been seen in a Splatoon game before. There are also fan-favorite modes reinvented in unique ways.
