Splatoon 3 - Release Date Revealed - Nintendo Switch 

What I really want most is replays of our previous matches. Imagine being able to use those sweet camera controls to study your old games from different perspectives.

I really love the added player titles and medals awarded to the players at the end of each match. Not to mention, the music is HARD! Just 4 and a half months and the wait will finally be over!

3:19 Something I noticed that is SO small, but such a good detail is instead of abruptly stopping, they gradually skid to a stop. Amazing detail :)

It sounds like there’s new voice lines in Splatoon 3! For being splatted: 0:37, 0:49, 1:17, 1:28, 3:16. And I think there’s special activation sounds the Inklings/Octolings make now: 0:47 (Tri-Zooka) and 2:19 (mini Inkstrikes).

I've gotta admit that this Splatoon definitely looks like the highest skill ceiling. The increased movement and weapon types are slamming. I'm also super excited for the customisable titles and music.

That vacuum special looks really cool, especially for modes like tower control. It’s cool to see the ink missile back as well in an updated, smaller form. I’m so stoked for this!

Is it just me or does it look like everyone will be able to dodge roll now and not just duelie mains? I think Splatoon three is gonna be easy to pick up but hard to master, nothing wrong with that though! Can't wait to meet everybody in the turf war!

This game is a summer hit. You know, only if Nintendo decided to release it at the beginning of summer rather than two weeks before summer is over.

The new respawn mechanics are definitely appreciated. Spawn camping was quite easy to do and quite hard to get out of in 2

Last time I saw a Splatoon 3 trailer, I thought it looked pretty much identical to 2, but now it looks quite alot cleaner. I really like the new specials and while I thought many of 2's specials seemed quite underwhelming compared to 1 (especially the Stingray compared to the Killer Wail). I like that they seem to be attempting a compromise, kind of like as if the ban on the old supers for being too strong was partially reverted. I also noticed that the crab special's regular shots take 3 hits to splat in the trailer.

0:48 New inkzoka looks cool, looks very strong and the 3 shot limit really helps balance it out a bit. My Question however is if the rainmaker will take on this kind of “triple spiral shot” that the inkzoka has, as the rainmaker always takes after the cannon like special in each game. Would make for interesting ranked matches

This trailer makes it look so pacific and slow paced, when in reality it's absolute chaos for 3 minutes when the match starts lol

At 0:17, you can see the Tri-Stringer (The bow) launch themselves at the top left on a platform up above, meaning that you can choose whether to spawn up high to have the high ground advantage to snipe players, or go low to cover turf and fight up close. This game is going to have so many ways to go around the stages, and I love it!

The simple quick dash jumps you can do in squid form are such an underlooked feature they’re gonna make the fights so much more interesting, I love when movement based skill is involved and not JUST aim Which is why I loved cod advanced warfare, yet everyone hated that, I wonder what people will think of this

I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT HAS ACTUALLY BEEN A YEAR

1:05 those shots were totally in sync with the music

It seems like mobility is gonna play a huge role in this because you can move alot with these ults and it seems like the maps for the new splatoon 3 is gonna be smaller making mobility play an even bigger role especially with the dodge rolling

Few things: 1. Stephanie’s title on their card at the beginning mentions “Man-o’-Wardrobe Big Spender”, indicating the name of Splatsville’s clothing shop, and that the titles are likely unlocked by achieving certain milestones 2. Lil’ Judd looks scruffy and dirty at the end, possibly because of Splatsville’s sandy environment, possibly because of some effect of the cloning process that made him, maybe because that isn’t the Lil’ Judd from Splatoon 2 3. The name cards at the beginning have 4 digit numbers written in the lower left hand corner, written in Arabic numerals, so they’re obviously meant to convey information to the player and aren’t just decoration. It’s probably an identification so that you can bypass the hassle of navigating friend requests and make playing with your friends easier.

Am I the only one who noticed (and LOVES) the new voice clips? I can't wait to hear all of the new sounds our squids and octos make when they use their special, get splatted, get hurt, superjump, or say "This Way!", "Booyah!", and "Ouch..." (Also hoping we get more commands than just the 2 on the D-pad, but it's looking unlikely at this point.)

What I have gleamed from this is that I'll definitely be playing turf war a lot more in this installment. The specials look like they actually benefit turf war compared to the previous versions, and will definitely be a lot more fun overall in ranked modes. I love the aggressive approach to the specials too reverting back to what splatoon offered. It gives people a chance who normally wouldn't be able to dominant due to lack of necessary skill or just going against weapons that absolutely oppress them. I personally play short ranged weapons and it gets tough to approach when you are constantly matched up with mid to long-ranged weapons when your weapon doesn't have the kit to contend. Definitely a plus seeing brush being able to grapple, because in certain do or die situations the brush may be the last line of defense and deserves a chance to shine without constantly having to wait until opponents approach you.

I really hope the gear is easier to customize with abilities. Can’t wait for this game to come out!!

@0:21 It looks like players are given armor for about three seconds after respawning as a way to prevent spawn camping, judging by the glow. You have no idea how long I've wanted to see this mechanic in a shooter.

This gameplay is awesome, and I am loving the music being played, especially now or never, it sounds more intense than the other splatoon games, really gives off the feeling that it is the last minute of the match, and the team that is losing must make a comeback fast.

I can’t even! This game is going to be so good! The added player titles, the new music absolutely slaps. And the new victory animations and just. Everything else.

This game looks great! It's obvious they invested immensely in movement and incorporating it more into the gameplay. I'm loving the new specials :D

This is a lot further away from a release date than I expected. But man, I am super excited for this game. Even though I wish it would have came out in late June or July, it will be worth the wait. I am so excited. The gameplay looks incredible. The music slaps and is super good. The new special weapons look awesome too. There are even more inkling voice clips too. I can’t wait to get this

1:05 That kid is painting to the music😂😂😂

Someone at Nintendo sure had a lot of fun making the subtitles lol

Can't wait! Cool to see some prolonged gameplay!

The Charger beam seems to be invisible until it’s pointed in your general direction. You still have to do the quick aim shot thing, but the barrier of entry has been lowered. Most likely in an attempt to get more people to play the Charger.

The specials are looking more aggressive than Splatoon 2's while not being totally OP like Splatoon 1's were. Eeltail Alley's looking quite well-designed for something so basic and open. The Stringer's looking like it could be more flexible than the old Chargers, but it might not have charge storage when morphed. -And I'm calling it: the vacuum special's going to be called the Sucker Shot.- Well, that was a disappointment. And after they'd done so well with other names like "Killer Wail", "Echolocator", "Bubbler", "Inkjet" etc..

The presentation of the battle intros is top notch this time. Also the music track that plays in the battle intro, while short sounds freaking dope

I hope they fix a couple things: - Allow you to squad up with your friends to join Turf Wars together and stay on the same team, or remove the League Battle ranking requirement - Allow you to skip the intro MC sequence - Allow for split screen on one system for online play. Or even better, allow for 2v2 4 player local (like Mario Kart)

After having spent hundreds of hours playing Splatoon 2, this new game will certainly be an incredible new adventure!!!

I love the new display and gear. The new abilities fit the “City of Chaos” get up. I like how it shows what weapons we should expect to have their specials. Can’t wait to see if they release a test fire.

武器もスペシャルもステージも全部かっこいい‼️特に最後。立体的で順番にキャラクターが出てくるし、武器の構え方とかポーズとかカッコよすぎる

I’m at work and I soon as I saw splatoon I had to click. My body is ready.

This is probably one of the best gameplay trailers I've ever seen. So simple and effective. Whatever Dev tool they used for the game recording and camera swapping is absolutely perfect for a third person shooter.

I love how you can tell they’re good players trying to act bad

3:29-3:40 is the best song in this trailer. goes hard

That was the longest 14 months of my life not knowing when the game will release. SEPTEMBER 9TH FINALLY LET’S GO

This franchise is only 6 to almost 7 years old, and already it's been getting third installment. Alongside the Inklings getting into Smash and making an appearance in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Never thought a series that started out on one the most underrated Nintendo consoles ever made would come so far.

bro you were the one who got me into splatoon series when i was in 1st grade now im in 6th and i cant wait for the 3 splatoon to come out because of you

the new victory screen looks so cool, it really must make you feel accomplished with the whole build up and the poses the team does afterwards

I personally think it would be neat, if we could add things like stickers, Keychain decor, or paint onto our weapons, it's just a little thing I'd find neat.

LET'S GO! I'm liking the new death cam, especially how it angles itself to be above the player for a birds' eye view. The new victory screen is also quite lovely! Lil' Judd got a little fuzzier/fluiffier(?) as well. The new respawn mechanic is welcome if your team is overwhelmed. 3:05 is also pretty cool, I have to admit! Overall, I'm seriously excited to see what changed lore-wise as well as the multiplayer-aspect.

probably wasn't intentional but the charger tap shotting to the music at 1:04 was cute

something i noticed that not many people are talking about is, were getting new voice lines! if you listen very closely at 0:48 after the inkzooka kills the splat pro, thats a new death sound! (well for octoling atleast) also shortly after when the splatershot walks into the charger, the initial death sound is the same as previous games, but the murmurs afterwards are not one that we (or atleast i) have not heard before in past games. there are a few other instances of new voicelines throughout the gameplay but im not putting timestamps to all of them.

I'm honestly just looking forward more to the story mode than anything else

i really like the new things that we are seeing in this trailer. there're new camera actions, a striker/bolder ui replacement which really represents the overall catch of splatoon 3! new weapon details + revamps and a bunch of more subs and specials that look more versatile and will definitely cause a huge change and shift in meta. i also see that there are now tags, which are displayed at the beginning of the turf war. will they look interchangeable in the future, or will it be like in splatoon 2 where its automatically set for you? hoping for it to be interchangeable. music has also changed again and sounds broader, and the now or never has a much greater rock aspect into it, and it resembles splatoon 1's a lot! the victory screen is literally everything?? i love it so much! there's really not a lot to say right now, but maybe there'll be an introduction to victory/losing emotes? emotes in general? maybe maybe. you can also see there are medals on the bottom right side, which might allude to achievements? maybe i'm going too far haha lastly, it also looks as if the maps are smaller and will cause much more fights to happen (painfully taking place in this trailer unfortunately due to it just being the trailer (they really can't fight 😭) but i can't wait for everything! 10/10 trailer and that being said i'm gonna pre-order this right now lol ᵒᶜᵗᵒᵇʳᵘˢʰ ᶦˢ ᶜʳᵃᶜᵏᵉᵈ ᵃᵍᵃᶦⁿ

i love everything about this oh my goddddd i'm so excited for the bow, looks super dope. also excited for the bazooka and the special at 1:15 ! this game looks to be a perfect mix of splatoon 1 and 2. it feels nostalgic and modern ! it's a great combination !!! can't wait to see story mode extended gameplay !:)

It honestly looks much more fleshed out and I can totally see how it helps also for championships. I’m so excited

Absolutely love the new Rock music approach instead of Pop, I eat that up right away

I was expecting this to be a summer game, but I’m still super pumped!

i remeber getting my wii u on my birthday in 2015 april with splatoon and mario kart 8 splatoon being my favorite game as a kid every day after school i played with my cousin but when the switch came out with splatoon 2 i was super hyped but sad due to my familly not being able to afford it now im 15 still no switch but stoked for the people who do have it to play the game

Cant wait for this game. Its going to be my first splatoon game

So hyped for this. Looks to be more fast paced then ever I've seen. The specials look incredibly fun and so far seem ALL in on offence. Gonna be a fun game!

0:21 I don't know if anyone has pointed this out, but it looks like you have a bit of invincibility for a few seconds, based off of the white light surrounding the player. Hopefully that means we won't be taunted by the opposing team with all of their weapons just wacking you to death and get a chance to fight back:,)

I have rewatched this more than 50 times and I can't get over it

Thank you so much for the new gameplay footage. Also, it was about time when there would be a new release date. Can’t totally wait for more updates and more stuff on Splatoon 3

the trailer was inkredible. I love that they kept now or never for the last minute, but made it it's own version. i like how they seem to be going for a smaller map, like in splatoon 1. this will make it so there is not so much special spam.

I love how many new and returning ultimates are being added like the splatzooka being pretty much brought back from the first game and new ones like the grapple one pretty much turning you into Spider-Man

Bro I remember when this trailer came out and I was groaning about how much longer I had to wait for this game. And NOW ITS A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AWAY!!!

0:06 THAT INTRO MUSIC CANT BE BETTER. AWESOME

This is absolutely sick!!! Despite it being released later in the year than usual unlike the spring or summer like the first two games, this will be definitely worth it! I love how they included the now or never so now we know what it sounds like. The results screen is absolutely sick as well. I bet Splatoon 3 will be better than the first two games!

I like how they switch up the main colors with each new game. Orange vs blue for Splatoon 1 Green vs pink for Splatoon 2 and now Yellow vs and now some shade of Dark Blue for Splatoon 3

Anyone else here after the Nintendo Direct?

I remember when it was over a year until this game came out. Now 3 months. Time flies and I'm not mad about that.

I really love how another games is like 30 minutes of CGI for the trailer but this one is just pure gameplay

SO EXCITED TO SEE THE SPECIALS IN ACTION! THE MOVEMENT IN THIS GAME LOOKS SO FUN! AND THE VICTORY POSES TOO?! With the new UI, medals and more customization on top of that? We eating now y’all WE eating GOOD!

Who’s back after Splatoon 3 got released?

at 0:10 im just now realizing that the slosher animation for when they spawn then bounce the slosher on the drone to possibly flip it over. it’s a very small detail but i love it

1:04 i love how this random nintendo intern synced up the charger to the music

The new celebration animations and specials look fresh!

The 9th of the 9th …Wait a minute… *checks colander* …that’s cirno day!

Ok but that victory screen is very cool I love it. And I always love to see the unique win animations for each weapon class

This looks amazing. The specials look innovative and have a new twist on the classics that will result in much more intense game play, not just sit in the corner and farm missles.

Holy crap, I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this. I can’t believe Nintendo has managed to take an old game and an old game mode, and managed to keep it fresh (pun intended) and keep it interesting while still bringing back old favourites (INKZOOKAAAA). We’ve all really got to tip our hats to Nintendo for taking our ideas and there own, and making something that my mums gonna have to physically drag me away to stop me playing. Already got my preorder btw

I cant wait to play this!! The details, the animations.. everything!! Its just a masterpiece its gonna be awesome!!

If you slow down the footage you can see buttons which means that the camera with the arrow means you can play back footage and you can switch between players by pressing the buttons.

The ending animation is exactly what I was hoping for, including the music being much less in the Pop genre. I’m absolutely in love and way too excited for this game now.

So... Xenoblade Chronicles 3 gets moved up to summer in July, while Splatoon 3 gets September 9th right before the fall. Very nice and very interesting. I get this gut feeling that now that some office restrictions and other restrictions are lifted in Japan, that they're moving full speed ahead as it was hard or is hard to develop a game from home with all the assets in the office. That's it, hope this comes out exceptionally well for a franchise I haven't even played or followed. but I'm happy it is very successful 👍🏿👍🏿

I love how casual Splatoon 3 is about their trailers with the big reveal starting with the character customization and now just showing a typical match play, that or a homage to the OG Splatoon with the Single Player Campaign

I just got a switch and I'm super excited to get this game when it comes out

Everything in this trailer is just, I love it all. Seriously can’t wait for this game to come out!

Dude i like the new physics they have going on, like the waving hair that we already saw but also when someone gets splatted, their weapons and stuff bounce around like at 3:17 where that bow falls off, more than splat 1-2. Theres a whole bunch of details i could point out Its so cool that they added luigi to splatoon tho

1:02 The shot link with true music!

I just love how they did with the soundtrack, but I would love to see some of the old music from the past games.

This looks absolutely incredible, it kinda stinks it got delayed but at least they’ll be able to work on the game more! I also hope we get a squid research lab at some point in time

I really love that they gave the OCTOBRUSH the new swing special! It looks so fun and I can’t wait to use it myself!

Imagine having an elimination mode? Where once someone is splatted they will be in the revive state like in Salmon run. Once the whole enemy team is down then you would win. (Not the best for competetive but still very fun)

I’m so so so excited! The thing I’m most excited about is the customisation for this game! Hope to get it really soon after it releases

1:04 hahaha I love how the sniper makes his gun sound with the rhythm of the music XD good point

Been loving this game since it's first release, Splatoon was such a huge part of my childhood even if I didn't get to play it myself, hopefully this year I can finally join you guys in turf!!

I’m so hyped for this!! Love the gameplay !! the special weapons are more competitive this year and it is going to be exciting gameplay I’m so looking forward to playing with online competitors.

Not even the Nintendo devs ink their base😢

Things this trailer reveals: New weapons, subs and specials New clothing and hairstyles New ui Quick chat not changing New winning screen Mini Judd having more hair and being more yellow-orange How the ink looks Some details about a new stage Titles and banners And how all of this could be subject to change because of it still being in development and not to mention additional updates However, with that being said... YOOOOOOOOOO ITS SOO HYYYPEEEEEE

I love how some ultis are slightly based of splatoon 1 ultis. I saw a mini-tornado missile launcher and some variant of the tornado launcher. And I like how they made everything faster in general.

a few things a noticed and really excited for: 1. dodges while in the ink 2. crossbow weapon? 3. medals that probably give bonus coins or something 4. ultimate that turns you into a crab mech 5. ultimate that sucks (literally) 6. player titles and backgrounds for ur profile

That's where my birthday is when it comes out.
