Nintendo Switch consoles are easier to find these days, and if you’re looking to buy the best Switch model with a funky color scheme, you’re in luck. At Walmart, Amazon, and Target, the Switch Splatoon 3 OLED model is back on store shelves. Walmart is even selling the console for $350, the same price as the regular Switch OLED and 10 bucks less than the other retailers.
Like other special edition Switch consoles, the Splatoon 3 version uses elements of the popular game to give the hardware a unique look. The included Joy-Cons feature a blue and yellow gradient color scheme, the white dock has a cheeky splash of graffiti on it, and the back of the Switch is adorned in a subtle but eye-catching design. It’s worth noting that this Switch package does not include Splatoon 3, as that’s a separate purchase.
Otherwise, this has all the benefits of the Switch in its latest hardware configuration. You can easily hook it up to your TV, detach the Joy-Cons and slot them into a dedicated controller cradle to continue from where you left off, and enjoy a wide range of exclusive games on this system. When you need to go out, the Switch has a bright and vibrant screen that makes Nintendo’s colorful games pop rather nicely on the 7-inch screen. This version also has 64GB of internal storage, so you’ll be able to load up quite a few games on it before you need to expand its capacity with a microSD card.
As for Splatoon 3, Nintendo announced an Expansion Pass during this week’s Nintendo Direct. The pass will include two waves of extra content, with the first one centered around Splatoon 2’s hub of Inkopolis. It’ll add the Booyah Base complete with the same weapons and gear found in Splatsville, as well as new shopkeepers. For wave 2, Side Order, there aren’t too many details on what to expect, but the reveal did hint at a world without color. A problem that can easily be remedied with an endless amount of paint.
