Sure, let me dive into this—though, where do I even begin? Oh, right. You know that feeling when you’re half-asleep and then you find out Nintendo’s dropping a surprise? Yeah, it’s like that. They’re pushing out a free update for Splatoon 3 (a game that’s kinda like paintball, if masquerading squids make any sense)—and it’s coming for the Switch and its sequel, very shortly. Thursday, 12 June, if you’re marking calendars or something.
Okay, so version 10.0.0—rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? It’s packed with, like, a whole new collection called Splatlands. Apparently, it’s got fancy new weapons from brands like Barazushi and Emberz. Thirty kits, they say. And here’s the twist: they don’t just look cool, but come with unique sub and special what-you-call-it tools. Splashy fun, right?
Now, imagine Urchin Underpass making a comeback. Think retro revival, and you get to squid around in a stage from the original Splatoon on the Wii U. Memories, man.
Then there’s this thing about weapon Freshness caps getting bumped up. You can snag new badges and there’s this shiny new stat in Anarchy Battle or Series thingy—Series Weapon Power. It sort of rates how awesome (or not) you are with each weapon. What’s it do with this info? Matches you up with folks of similar power. Think of it like a matchmaking promise to not throw you headfirst into chaos for trying out new stuff. Play with guts, not fear—kinda liberating when you ponder it.
And hey, all you Switch 2 folks—cleaner visuals and smoother movements in places like Splatsville await you. I could wax poetic, but you get the drift. Worried about compatibility? Chill. Splatoon 3 lets players on both Switch and Switch 2 battle it out, side by side.
The game’s out everywhere—retail, digital, you name it. It’s kind of a paint-flinging wild ride, if you’re into that. So, gear up—or don’t, it’s your call. Either way, here’s hoping the update makes waves. Or doesn’t. I’m just here for the color splash.
