By Rory Mellon published 7 September 2022 The latest special-edition Switch is Splatoon themed (Image credit: Nintendo) Nintendo has revealed that the first-ever special-edition Nintendo Switch OLED model will be themed around Splatoon 3, and it looks seriously fresh. While Nintendo has previously released a variety of limited-edition models for the standard Switch console, this Splatoon 3 console is the first time the refreshed OLED model has been given a makeover. Note that there are no hardware changes here, it's the same great handheld/home console hybrid but with a Splatoon-inspired skin. Previous special edition Switch consoles have proved to be very popular. In fact, several have become collector's items that can now only be found on the resale market. And the Nintendo Switch OLED Splatoon 3 Edition looks no different as multiple retailers have now sold out of the console. However as of 12:24 p.m. on Wednesday, September 7, the Nintendo Switch OLED Splatoon 3 Edition is available at Walmart (opens in new tab).

What is Nintendo Switch OLED Splatoon 3 Edition

(Image credit: Nintendo) Released to mark the launch of highly-anticipated multiplayer shooter Splatoon 3, the Nintendo Switch OLED Splatoon 3 Edition is pretty much exactly what it sounds like - a special edition version of Nintendo's extremely popular Switch console. It features two limited edition purple and green Joy-Cons both decked out with Splatoon decals and a really neat color-fading effect. Plus, the back of the Switch console itself is wrapped in Splatoon artwork, and if that wasn't enough the white docking station is also adorned with images of inklings, octolings and in-game images - the neon yellow ink splat is a nice touch as well. Rather curiously the package does not include a copy of the Splatoon 3 game. While this definitely seems counterintuitive, anybody who wants an entire console covered in Splatoon artwork probably wants the latest game in the franchise as well, it's not the first time Nintendo has pulled a move like this. 2020's Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing Edition also didn't come with a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Alongside the console, Nintendo is releasing a Splatoon 3 Switch Pro controller and a carry case, perfect for extended play sessions and taking your Switch on the go. These are both scheduled to launch a few weeks after the special edition console on September 9. This is also the same date Splatoon 3 is scheduled to release.
