It’s now available for preorder at a number of retailers, both in physical and digital formats (see it at Amazon).Splatoon 3: Where to PreorderPhysical CopyDigital CopyPhysical copies are widely available for preorder. Digital copies aren’t available everywhere, but they are up for preorder at the above retailers.Splatoon AmiiboNintendo has released a number of amiibo for Splatoon, but most of them are out of stock or for sale by third parties for wildly high prices. That said, the Splatoon 3-pack is up at GameStop for the standard MSRP, and at other retailers for a small markup. Nintendo hasn’t specifically discussed amiibo integration for Splatoon 3, so we can’t be 100% sure they’ll work with the game.Splatoon 3 TrailersWhat Is Splatoon 3?Splatoon 3 brings players to the Splatlands, a cartoonish wasteland that’s home to paint battles of all kinds. First there’s a story mode that finds Agent 3 facing off against the Octarian army, plus something about the “return of the Mammalians.”Turf War is back with its four-on-four battles, this time giving players a number of new moves based on dodging and maneuverability, plus a bow-like weapon to fling ink at your enemies and the surrounding area. The co-op mode Salmon Run also returns “with fresh new features.”Other Preorder GuidesChris Reed is a deals expert and commerce editor for IGN. You can follow him on Twitter @_chrislreed.
