For anyone that somehow still doesn't have a Nintendo Switch, Nintendo is also introducing a Nintendo Switch OLED model themed after Splatoon 3. This console will be launching shortly before the game it's inspired by, with a scheduled release date of Aug. 26, 2022. For anyone that already has a Switch but still wants some Splatoon 3 extras outside of the game, there'll also be a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller themed after the game.
Splatoon 3 is scheduled to arrive on Sep. 9, 2022. Like many other big Nintendo first-party titles, it'll be available exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
