Good news, squid kids: Splatoon 3 is set to release exclusively for Nintendo Switch this summer. As the latest installment in Nintendo’s online paintball series, Splatoon 3 promises all sorts of goopy chaos across several modes. It is currently available for pre-order at select retailers, both in physical and digital formats (watch it at Amazon).
Splatoon 3: Where to pre-order

Digital copy
Physical copies are widely available for pre-order. The digital copies aren’t available everywhere, but they’re available for pre-order at the retailers above.
Splatoon Amiibo
Nintendo has released a number of amiibos for Splatoon, but most of them are out of stock or sold by third parties at exorbitant prices. That said, packs of 3 Splatoon are on sale at GameStop for the standard MSRP and at other retailers for a small tick. Nintendo hasn’t specifically discussed amiibo integration for Splatoon 3, so we can’t be 100% certain that they’ll work with the game.

What is Splatoon 3?
Splatoon 3 takes players to the Splatlands, an animated wasteland where battles of all kinds are drawn. First, there’s a story mode that sees Agent 3 face off against the Octarian army, along with something about the “return of the Mammals”.
Turf War is back with four-on-four battles, this time giving players some new moves based on dodge and maneuverability, along with a bow-like weapon to hurl ink at enemies. you and the surrounding area. Salmon Run co-op mode also returns “with all-new features.”
