Splatoon Raiders and Splatoon 3 Update Head to Switch 2

Nintendo used its Nintendo Today app new events and additions in September 2024 for Splatoon 3.

In the case of Splatoon 3, this will be one of the free Switch 2 patches to enhance the game. Of course it will run better on the new system and look better there. There will also be crossplay between folks on the Switch and Switch 2. Urchin Under will debut as a stage, 30 weapon kits will be part of a Splatlands weapon collection, more Badges will appear, Freshness caps will be higher. Finally, Anarchy Battle will use Series Weapon Power to ensure even weapons you’re trying for the first time or learning will be as powerful as ones you’ve mastered. 

In the case of Splatoon Raiders, the first trailer teased players as a pilot and mechanic heading to Spirhalite Islands alongside Shiver, Frye, and Big Man from Deep Cut. The trio learned about potential treasure there. Following a crash, it looks like we’ll explore areas alongside a robot. Other segments also showed our avatar fishing and hanging out with characters at a camp. That segment closed on a teaser of a major beam of light emerging from the ground and unusual storm brewing around it.

Here’s the official trailer for both the new game and Switch 2 upgrade.
