Nintendo just dropped a bomb that’s got everyone buzzing. A free update for Splatoon 3 — yep, you heard that right — for both Nintendo Switch and this mysterious Switch 2 is hitting us later this week. Thursday, June 12th, mark your calendars! I’ve got a feeling it’s gonna be a wild one.
So, what’s in this juicy update, you ask? What’s even updated these days? It’s version 10.0.0 and it’s bringing the Splatlands collection—who names these?—with a whole slew of new shiny gadgets. Like, we’re talking 30 weapon kits from Barazushi and Emberz, looking all fresh and different. Maybe it’s just me, but new stuff is like candy to a kid sometimes.
Oh, and Urchin Underpass is making a comeback. Remember that from the old Wii U days? Nostalgia trip, right? Now, you can dive back into that stage during your rotation. I’m already getting that retro vibe.
There’s more though. Listen to this: all weapon Freshness caps are going up. Just imagine the new in-game badges. And there’s a new stat for all the battle geeks, called Series Weapon Power. Basically, it’s like matchmaking but on steroids. You get put with folks matching your weapon power—less stress, more fun.
Oh, and for those lucky ducks on the Nintendo Switch 2? Your visuals are gonna pop like fireworks at the Grand Festival Grounds. Not that I’m envious or anything. Let’s just hope it doesn’t make playing together a tech nightmare. But don’t worry, the trailer assures us we can still cross swords, or rollers, or whatever with both consoles.
Guys, Splatoon 3 is out everywhere. Grab it, play it, love it. I might just hop back into the fray myself. Or maybe I’ll just watch the chaos unfold with some popcorn in hand. Decisions, decisions.
