Team Jackpot Splatoon 3 World Championship 2024

After recent controversy, Nintendo will no longer be recognizing the win team Jackpot had in the 2024 Splatoon 3 World Championship.

The company put out a statement on social media which mentions that some members of team Jackpot “acted in a manner that is not in line with our Community Guidelines”. Due to this, their win will be voided and they won’t be getting trophies either. Nintendo will also adjust the Splatoon 3 Splashtag banner that was released with a future patch.

Original: On social media, Nintendo just announced two new Splatoon 3 amiibo sets, due for release in Japan on September 5. No Western release has currently been announced by Nintendo’s Western accounts but will no doubt be forthcoming. The Side Order Set will contain figures of Pearl and Marina, and the Alterna Set is for Callie and Marie.

We actually received some information about the existence of these amiibo in a datamine some time ago, although this didn’t completely confirm their existence.

The Grand Fesival in Splatoon 3 is set to start on September 13, Nintendo have announced. The event will last for 72 hours, and will mark the two-year anniversary of the game.

The official announcement video, which you can view below, gives us a preview of what is to come. It also details the Splatfest that will happen during the event, which will give players a choice between Past, Present, and Future.

The Triumvirate is a new King Salmonid challenge introduced alongside Splatoon 3’s Big Big Run event. Like the other King Salmonid battles, the Triumvirate has a chance of appearing at the end of Wave 3 if your King Salmonid meter is full. When it appears, you’ll need to take on a Cohozuna, Horroboros, and Megalodontia all at once.
