Splatoon 3 is due for release on Nintendo Switch this coming September and Nintendo is consistently releasing new information, footage, and music from the game to ramp up excitement.
The latest info dump is in the form of a new song from the fictional band 'Damp Socks' called 'Candy-Coated Rocks'. It's very much your quintessential Splatoon music and fits in well with the theme of the franchise.
The preview of the track lasts for just over a minute, but it's definitely a catchy number, to be sure! It's also not the only new track shown off so far; we caught a glimpse of another piece of music titled 'Sea Me Now' back in May - you can check that one out right here.
In addition to music, Nintendo has also shared some new hairstyles that you'll be customising your Inkling characters with, along with a plethora of new weapons that will feature in the game.
Splatoon 3 will launch on September 9th, 2022.
What do you think of the new music track? Are you excited to pick up Splatoon 3? Let us know!

Can't listen to it now since I'm at work but I do wonder if this means we'll get new hosts again.
They really just casually announced that my favourite idols are coming back with brand new REGULAR game mode music.
screams in woomy
I was so-so on the last track that dropped, but this one slaps. Glad to see Pearl and Marina are back at it with a certified bop.
I loved it! The off-beats are very well placed and the variations of style fit very well!
While this doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t return as hosts, Off the Hook are on tour with this band, making hosting duties unlikely. We might see new hosts.
Marina looks great in orange. Nintendo knocked it out of the park with her design.
so cool to see them coming back, but it does make me wonder about the new idols we'll get. on one hand its cool getting new idols to tie to a new story, on the other that means they'd have 6 idols to juggle under one game assuming the squid sisters are back too
Awesome, so Pearl and Marina are alright. Wonder if they'll appear in the game, though.
Splatoon music cannot miss. It’s scientifically proven
I am just assuming that we aren’t getting a direct if these types of news are coming out this way. I would have thought this would have been direct content.
Anybody else really like the squid sisters (Callie and Marie) from the first Splatoon, but strongly DIS-like Pearl and Marina? I don't even know why but they sort of ruined the appeal of Splatoon 2 for me.
Gross band name, though.
Splatoon music always sounds weird at first, but I usually come around to it after hearing it a bunch. This song's fine. I feel like they are putting filler songs out first.
@Ralizah that's the point though, and I love it
I kinda wish we got to hear Pearl scream again... the Dudes Be song from Octo Expansive goes hard and I love it
This doesn't really align with my definition of a banger, but it's ok I guess. All Splatoon music is nice.
Wow, this is actually a really complex piece of music! They’ve put so much effort in it. The bass player is insane!
Callie is in the group, just not shown ... or she's the manager or some other position. Nintendo didn't even make this one hard like they do with most music clues.
This directly samples Bomb Rush Blush, Callie's solo track from before "The Squid Sisters"
I hope they put in a bigger variety of music. My bff plays Splat 2 every day and I feel like I've heard the... 5? Songs used in that game roughly a billion times now
@sketchturner Its weird because I'm the exact opposite. Admittedly, I never owned a Wii U, so Splatoon 2 was my first game. Nothing against Cali/Mari, but I can't tell them apart, and I'm much more interested in Pearl & Marina's dynamic.
If I had started with the first game, I'd probably feel the same way as you do.
Marina definitely looks snazzy in that outfit. That much I'll say.
I guess we're all missing the biggest deal here:
It's new music. This means Rina Itou and Alice got a renewal and are still under contract with Nintendo. These are big names, and there is basically no chance it's a one and done deal.
I can't wait! That likely means we are going to get a new album and a new live concert pre-release!
YEEEESSS I wanted some Off the Hook in S3!
@Desrever Yeah, for me, I was super hyped about the first Splatoon game. Bought it day one and put a lot of hours into it. Really defined the Wii U for me. Somehow, I just never attached to the sequel in the same way.
I really can’t think of any music from current Nintendo franchises that begin to even approach the bar splatoon sets
DAAAAMMMNNN
PEARL AND MARINA GOT EVEN MORE DRIPPY
Incoherent nonsense is a 'banger' ? Lol
@HeadPirate Which part is from Bomb Rush Blush? I can't hear it
@Desrever Callie and Marie were like a fun gag in story mode.
Pearl and Marina have more history and personal connections to learn about.
Your "Profile Picture" is one I like to see and I appreciate it. I thought about what to say harder because I wanted an excuse to tell you that I admire your profile picture.
@TheSaneInsanity Hey, thanks!! I've been using the same avatar for over a decade now, but keep meaning to do it over again since there's some weird loose pixels that show up. But the laziness always ends up taking over. Glad its still enjoyable. LOL!
that song is Fresh
