Splatoon 3 Previews Side Order DLC And Fresh Season For March 1
Nintendo has shared new trailers for upcoming content in Splatoon 3.
Splatoon 3 was originally released on September 9, 2022, and immediately set records. Within the first three days, it sold 3.45 million units, immediately making it one of the best-selling titles in Japan. It received a Metacritic of 83, and a strong OpenCritic rating, with a top critic average of 83, and 93 % of critics recommending the game.

While Nintendo sought to set a precedent of placing all content on disc when they made the first Splatoon for the Wii U, Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3 on the Nintendo Switch have had real full sized DLC, on top of seasonal content that is now only partly on carts. Nintendo may find itself accidentally making this title a full live service game if they keep going like this.

Alongside a drone who claims to be Off the Hook member Pearl, Agent 8 must battle to the top of the Spire of Order against hordes of surprising enemies and obstacles.
On each floor of the Spire there are objectives that change each time you make an attempt, and they get harder the higher you climb. Objectives may include defeating enemies, securing specific areas for a set amount of time, and overcoming other skill-testing challenges. Use the color chips you receive to customize your Palette to your liking with enhancements such as increased firing speed, raised damage output and more. Fail to reach the top and you’ll have to start over – but the color chips
