Splatoon 3 pre-order bonus guide

With Splatoon 3 set to arrive on Switch within the next few months, now’s as good a time as any for us to publish our pre-order guide the game, which will contain information about many major retailer reservations as well as any bonuses that are announced.

As the name implies, Splatoon 3 is the third major entry in the series and the second title on Switch. Many elements are returning like Turf War and Salmon Run, though there’ll be new stages and bosses. Also, an entirely new story mode is planned where players can discover the secrets of Alterna, the Fuzzy Ooze, and how they connect to the mode’s theme, “Return of the Mammalians”.

On August 26, Nintendo will release a special edition Splatoon 3 themed Switch OLED system featuring design inspiration from the game. It includes a set of one blue and one yellow gradient Joy-Con controllers with white underbellies and a white, graffiti-themed Switch dock. 

You can pre-order the Splatoon 3 Switch OLED on the My Nintendo Store UK here – stay tuned for other retailers.

Add-ons / amiibo

Nintendo hasn’t announced plans for amiibo support, but there’s a good chance of that happening. In fact, we could very well see new figures as well. The original Splatoon as well as Splatoon 2 came with new amiibo and in-game functionality so we could see something similar with Splatoon 3.

In terms of what has been announced, the Splatoon 3 Nintendo Switch Pro Controller will be available on September 9. The Nintendo Switch Splatoon 3 Edition Carrying Case will also be sold on the same day. Both can be pre-ordered on the My Nintendo Store UK here.

When will Splatoon 3 be available?

When Splatoon 3 was originally announced, it was slated for a 2022 release. Nintendo ended up sticking with that target, and we have a final release date of September 9, 2022.
