Nintendo Download: The SPLAT is Back!

It’s Splatoon 3 week on the Nintendo Download! And since that means the release of a major first party Nintendo game, there isn’t much else.

Splat goes the Download

Hope you dig paint and multiplayer arena-shooters, because Nintendo has a heaping helping of that on tap for this week’s Download. Of course, the game in question is none other than Splatoon 3.

A sequel that’s been anticipated for about a year, Splatoon 3 puts players back in the tentacles of an ink-blasting squid. the goal is a simple one, blast your opponent in multiplayer online battles, and rule the arena by covering it with your own colors. Yeah there’s more to Splatoon than that, and part 3 does add in some more stuff too, but that’s the basic gist of it.

And again, there ain’t much else. Tower Princess is a 3D medieval action title, that has an animated look to it. Kind of neat. And rounding out the headliners is Haiku, which is a side-scrolling, GameBoy-ish 8bit adventure. Also, kind of neat.

Have a look:
