To those who think Nintendo relies too heavily on characters from the 1980s, enter the lovable goofballs that populate the Splatoon universe, a franchise that originated in 2015.
The third edition of the mega-popular series is launching next month, and Nintendo is celebrating the release by readying a brand new Switch console to ship just ahead of it, the clumsily named Nintendo Switch—OLED Model Splatoon 3 Edition.
This is the first cosmetic refresh of last year’s OLED Switch, affectionally called the “SWOLED,” and the new exterior is as colorful and off-kilter as the games that inspired it.
