Nintendo Switch 2 Visuals Enhanced by Free Splatoon 3 Update

Oh man, so here’s the deal with the new update for Splatoon 3. Nintendo’s throwing out this free software update for the Switch and, wait for it, the Switch 2. I didn’t even know about a Switch 2 until like, two seconds ago. Surprise! Anyway, this update’s dropping on, uhh, let me check… right, Thursday, June 12. Seriously, who keeps track of dates anymore?

So, this update, version 10.0.0 or whatever — sounds fancy, huh? It’s got this Splatlands collection thing with all these new weapons. Like 30 of ’em, from some brands I’ve literally never heard of. Barazushi and Emberz? They’re spicing things up with new looks and sub and special weapons. Kinda like adding chili flakes to your pizza — unexpected but intriguing.

Oh, and who remembers Urchin Underpass? I do, sorta. It’s back from the Wii U days, popping up in the stage rotation like a nostalgic old friend. It’s like running into your old college buddy at Starbucks. I know, random, right? But it’s happening.

Now, get this — they’ve got this Freshness thing going on. You can get these in-game badges — probably like those gold star stickers teachers give. Also, there’s this new stat for Anarchy Battle (Series) called Series Weapon Power. Sounds epic, right? It’s all about measuring how you do with different weapons, so you’re battling with people on the same level. Like, no more getting crushed by some super pro while you’re just trying to vibe.

And here’s a snazzy bit for Switch 2 folks — they get better visuals. Like seeing in HD after wearing foggy glasses. Places like Splatsville might actually look like Splatsville instead of a blur. Oh, and no need to panic about not being able to play with your pals on different Switches. They got cross-play covered. Phew.

Splatoon 3’s out there in the wild right now. You can snag it in stores or download it if online shopping is your jam. Huh, who even goes to retail stores nowadays, right? But hey, whatever floats your boat.
