Nintendo has a new update in store for Splatoon 3 and will soon be releasing version 9.2.0. The patch notes are available now.

According to Nintendo, the update “focuses on making it possible to use certain amiibo features even when not connected to the internet as well as adjusting the balance of battles.” Even more balance adjustments are planned for the future.

Here’s the full rundown of the new update:

Splatoon 3 Splatfest results Wizard vs. Knight vs. Ninja

Splatoon 3 held its huge Grand Festival a little while back, but Nintendo kept things going for the game this weekend with a Halloween-themed Splatfest featuring a Wizard vs. Knight vs. Ninja battle, and the results are now in. Players were asked which one of these they’d be in a fantasy world.

The halftime report showed a very close battle. Nintendo’s breakdown put Team Ninja in the lead at just 33.97 percent, followed closely by Team Knight at 33.21 percent and Team Wizard at 32.82 percent.

A hypothetical Splatoon 4 would certainly be a Switch 2 title – and at the time of writing, the console still hasn’t been officially announced. Seeing as Splatoon 3’s content cycle has just wrapped up, it might be a little bit too early to start thinking about the game. Still, for many, it was a high point in the series, and after the conclusion of the excellent Grand Festival, it’s only natural to think about what could be next for one of Nintendo’s most popular franchises. Today, we’re looking at all sorts of new things we think would be cool to see in Splatoon 4.

October 9: Nintendo is gearing up for a spooky-themed Splatfest in Splatoon 3, which will be held later this month.

For the latest theme, players are asked what they would be in a fantasy world between a Wizard, Knight, and Ninja.

Splatoon 3 glitch Grand Festival

Even though Splatoon 3’s Grand Festival event is over, you can still re-access the venue via an amiibo. And if you haven’t quite had your fill of picture-taking, there’s an out-of-bounds glitch that will let you capture photos of the Grand Festival venue from entirely new angles. It may take a few tries, but it’s a fairly easy and harmless glitch with cool photo potential. You can even take pictures next to Acht and DJ Octavio, who appear in the Grand Festival if you’ve finished the Side Order DLC and main story campaign, respectively. Though we don’t normally report on minor glitches, we thought this might be of interest to those of you looking to explore the gargantuan effort the developers put into the Grand Festival venue a bit more.

Splatoon 3 special weapons guide

Splatoon 3’s content cycle has largely come to an end, which means we may not see any major buffs or nerfs to weapons, subs, or specials. That means it’s as good a time as any to examine each of the game’s special weapons, how to use them most efficiently, and how to counter other players trying to use them against you.

If you haven’t played much Splatoon 3 lately, special weapons are arguably one of the most important elements of any game mode. They’re often responsible for completely turning the tide of battle upside down, especially when used well or coordinated with other teammates. It’s important to at least have a basic understanding of each special weapon you take into battle, and we’ll be going over basic to intermediate tips and tricks today.

Splatoon 3’s big Grand Festival event has wrapped up, ending the game’s primary content cycle (save for maybe a couple of repeat Splatfests). During the event, all players were moved over to an exclusive Grand Festival venue instead of the standard Splatsville, Inkopolis Square, or Inkopolis Plaza hub. The seven idols took turns performing their music during the event, too. The Grand Festival venue had a ton of work put into it, and so it’d be a shame if it weren’t accessible again after the event. Fortunately, you can still go back even though the event has ended. All you need is a certain amiibo.

Splatoon 3 Splatfest Grand Festival results - Past Present Future

Splatoon 3 just wrapped up its massive Grand Festival with what may very well be its final Splatfest, and we have the results of the Past vs. Present vs. Future event. Nintendo asked which one of these is the most important to players.

As shown during the halftime report, Team Past had a slight lead with 35.12 percent. Team Present was in second at 33.33 percent, followed by Team Future with 31.55 percent.

Best and Worst Salmon Run Rotations

Every few days, a new Salmon Run shift starts in Splatoon 3. Each one includes four different weapons, a different stage, and a different King Salmonids. We’ve already written guides on all of the King Salmonids in Splatoon 3 (you can check them out here), but how can you tell if a given rotation is good or bad? Today, we’re going over what makes a Salmon Run shift “good” – in other words, viable for farming – and what makes a Salmon Run shift “bad”, too.
