@FroZtedFlakerZzSplatoon 3 World Premier has it's own eshop page. When you view that eshop page with the Switch, the download button says, "Free Pre-order", which is kinda weird, but that's how they are doing it. You'll have to agree to some legal stuff, because it will be an online game interacting with people (I think that's the gist). Then a prompt will say a redeem code will be emailed to you, says the game will be downloadable on August 18, I believe?
August 25 - you can access beginner tutorial. August 27 is splatfest day.
If history is a guide, the World Premier(demo/testfire) will only be playable Aug 25-27. Splatoon demos have only been playable for their scheduled weekend. Even if you keep the demo on your system, after the planned demo dates, you can only boot up a loadscreen w/ music. Nothing else.
I think the "Free Pre-order" download button is because the demo is giving people a free 7 day NSO trial for people that don't have NSO already, because Splatfest online play requires NSO.
I also got purchase confirmation email, but since it's free, the charge is $0.
@WoomyNNYes I was going to ask you about that as well! So would you say it's ok to go and 'pre-order' it right now? 3's one of my most anticipated games of this year so I don't want to get caught out on a chance to play it early.

@Snatcher For games with a decently hefty file size like Splatoon, I usually go physical (Zelda, Smash Bros, Pokemon, etc.). However, when a game is as heavily focused on online like Splatoon, I feel as though going digital would make me want to play it a heck of a lot more since it's much easier to simply boot it up rather than having to go through the process of switching out game cards and such. It'll be one hell of a hit on my SD card (especially with this 'large scale paid DLC' coming down the line o_o) but it's one I'm willing to take. I should probably start archiving some software though....

@FizzaSplatoon 3 World Premier (demo) has it's own eshop page. It's download button says "Free Pre-order", even though you're not buying anything. A purchase confirmation will get emailed, saying $0. It's just how this demo appears to be set up. Nothing indicates that it's actually pre-ordering the $60 retail game.
I'm not pre-ordering the retail game. I plan on buying splatoon 3 physical at a local store release day.
@Snatcher Believe me: with art like this, it's always a difficult choice.

I just started downloading the demo. Wonder how I'll fare in the Splatfest! I remember seeing that you can practice stages in the full game, I'm curious if you can do that in the demo as well.

I'm going to assume we can use the Recon mode to check out whatever stages are included with the demo. I guess we'll see.
I really messed it up here.. 😅
I had to delete the Testfire for a moment and now I'm not able to redownload it. How does this work with preorders? Am I able to redownload it when it's available on the 25th?
Edit: Well. That was unexpected... I can redownload it on my Japanese Account. That's so weird.
@WoomyNNYes
It wasn't on the redownload page on my regular account where I "preordered" the game. I was trying to at least play the japanese version, so I hoped on the japanese EShop. On the testfire page it said redownload. So I checked the redownload page there. It was there. It redownloaded my version of the game. Not the japanese one.
