In Splatoon 3, the song plays in Inkopolis Plaza's lobby on weekends, replacing Drip Feed from Splatsville's lobby.

Remixes and covers
Inkopolis News (Off the Hook)
Another version of Inkopolis News appears in Splatoon 2, made by Off the Hook. It is a very different composition from the original, with much more electronic production and Pearl and Marina briefly singing in the intro. A record scratch sound effect produced by Marina is played briefly when stages are introduced on the news. In the version of the song in Splatune 2, throughout the second half of the track, the same record scratch sound effects heard while stages are announced in Inkopolis News are heard. They are heard at roughly 0:50 and 1:04, with two being played at each of these points, imitating the two stages per mode. The Splatune 2 version also contains the proper ending heard after the news is finished rather than fading out.
In Splatoon 3, the song can be heard in the jukebox as of version 7.0.0 if the Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass has been downloaded. It plays in Inkopolis Square's lobby on weekends, replacing Drip Feed from Splatsville's lobby.
