Out of nowhere, the Nintendo Music app has been announced and released within the same day! Available free of charge to all players with Nintendo Switch Online membership, you can now listen to a bunch of Nintendo games' original soundtrack releases in excellent quality on your smart device. Sweet!
Out of the Splatoon series's music selection, it seems only the Splatoon 3 tracks included in Splatune 3 are available for now... though it sounds like more squidtastic grooves are on their way to the app soon!
Update (3 December 2024): As promised in the app's reveal trailer, the full soundtrack to Splatoon 2, including the Octo Expansion, is now available on Nintendo Music! Now, if you don't mind us, we're off to grab our headphones...
They said we'd have special Splatfests continuing after the Grand Festival, they just didn't say how soon! If you're having Splatfest withdrawal symptoms following last month's party of a lifetime, then never fear - we're getting a real treat in the form of a brand-new Splatoween event, Wizard vs. Knight vs. Ninja, kicking off on 26 October 2024! No repeat theme for us this time!
Plus, revive the specter of Splatfests past by claiming four creepy headgear items from Splatoon 2's Trick vs. Treat event back in 2018: the Kyonshi Hat, Li'l Devil Horns, Hockey Mask, and Anglerfish Mask. You can pick them up from the Nintendo Switch News right now!
If you think it couldn't get more unexpected than that, from out of nowhere, Nintendo shadow-dropped a new product upon the unsuspecting masses - Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo. Yes, an alarm clock with Splatoon 3 built-in... apparently! It can ease you into waking up and falling asleep with seven alarms using songs and sound effects from the game (and several others) using motion sensors! It's available to buy exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online members until mid-January, 2025 if that sounds up your street. Never change, Nintendo!
Let's all give a round of applause for Team Past, the crown champions of Splatoon 3's final Splatfest! Wow, what a battle! Did you catch the Now or Never Seven performing live while their stage's roof went up in flames? And howzabout that after-party at dawn...! Hope everyone had fun at this one-of-a-kind Splatfest, it's one for the books for sure. And if you want to re-experience those awesome live performances, try using an idol amiibo in your favorite hub area... rumor has it they can sneak you back into the venue!
And while this is the end for the Grand Festival, Splatoon 3 events as a whole will continue: seasonal Splatfests, Big Runs, Eggstra Work and Monthly Challenges are scheduled to keep going! Hope to catch you there!
