SplatNet 3 is an online service for Splatoon 3, which contains features like checking battle records and ordering special in-game gear from the SplatNet Gear Shop, as well as the new feature Crusty Sean’s Wandercrust.[1] It is a sequel to SplatNet 2 and was announced in the Splatoon 3 Nintendo Direct on 10 August 2022. Like its predecessor, it will be available through the Nintendo Switch Online app when Splatoon 3 launches. A Nintendo Account is required to use this service.[2]

Pages

There are four main tabs, which are always accessible on the bottom of SplatNet 3: Home, Schedule, Battles, and Salmon Run.

Home

This is the home and start-up page after opening SplatNet 3. On the top of the page, an unlabeled series of tabs advertises My Outfits as one of four other unknown pages. Directly underneath is an option labeled Online, which displays the Nintendo Switch Online User Icons of the player's currently online friends. Twelve other labeled page icons appear underneath this, with SplatNet Gear Shop, Freshest Fits, and History having larger icons than the other nine. [2]

SplatNet Gear Shop

SplatNet Gear Shop is an online retail service that allows players to order special in-game gear not sold in shops. This version of the gear shop hosts the The Daily Drop, and appears to have a daily stock themed after a particular gear brand. At the bottom of the page, the brand's favored ability is displayed.[2]

Freshest Fits

This page may be related to the in-game feature Freshest Fits.

History

This page displays the player's Splashtag, equipped weapon and gear, the date they started playing, their all-time best rank, total wins, total badges, and favorite weapons.[2]

Wandercrust Tour

Crusty Sean's going on a journey, and the more you ink, the more points you'll get to cheer him along. Who knows, he might even bring you a souvenir!

To all my best battered barnacles...

Wandercrust Tour[2], also called Crusty Sean's Wandercrust[1] is a new milestone system where the player can support Crusty Sean on a trip and earn rewards from inking turf during battles, including special wallpapers for their smart device.[2] A similar functionality was present in SplatNet 2.

Catalog

This page will likely be able to access the current catalog and the player's progress in it.

Album

This page is related to the in-game Photo Mode.

Weapons

This page will likely show the player's weapon stats, such as the number of wins, turf inked, and freshness, as well as the weapon's information, like its sub and special weapon. A similar functionality was present in SplatNet 2.

Stages

This page shows the player's stage stats, including recently played stages and win percentages. A similar functionality was present in SplatNet 2.

Hero Mode

This page shows the player's stats for Splatoon 3's Hero Mode, including level clear times and percentage of missions cleared. A similar functionality was present in SplatNet 2.

View Replays

This page may be related to the battle replays accessed in-game at the Lobby Terminal.

QR Code Reader

According to the Japanese website's SplatNet 3 FAQ page, the QR code reader function allows users to "scan specific real-world QR codes to get special in-game rewards", and states that "detailed information about QR code locations, etc. will be announced in the future".[3]

Settings

Schedule

This tab shows the current and upcoming Regular Battle and Anarchy Battle multiplayer map and mode rotation schedules. A similar functionality was present in SplatNet 2.

Battles

On this tab, detailed stats from the player's last fifty battles are displayed. At the top, the player's average splats, deaths, and specials are displayed. Further down is a detailed list of battles showing if the player won or lost, the stage, how many points they had, and what weapon they used, as well as what mode was played. Unlike in Splatoon 2, this information is also viewable in-game instead of exclusively available in SplatNet.[2]

Salmon Run

This tab shows the player's Salmon Run: Next Wave stats and shift schedule, as well as detailed stats from the player's last fifty jobs. A similar functionality was present in SplatNet 2.
