The hype for Splatoon 3 has been building ever since last week's Direct announcement revealed all of the new content coming to the squid-shooting sequel. One of the more predictable announcements was the return of Turf War battles - soon to be available in three-team mode - where you are tasked with covering the area in your team's ink and splatting any pesky competitors that get in your way.
Turf Wars has been a popular game mode across both Splatoon and Splatoon 2, and Nintendo has been quick to cash in on this popularity with a new trailer that showcases the ink-splashing task in action.

The trailer, titled 'Biggest Mess Wins', sees the popular game mode reimagined into the real world, with a team of children battling to paint their neighbourhood armed only with their Switch consoles. There is a small amount of gameplay on display here, but the message really seems to be about having fun - which we feel is undoubtedly Splatoon's top take-home message.
The promo is the latest trailer to imagine the Splatoon battlefield in the real world. Just last week Nintendo released a series of trailers in Japan which showed the weapons reimagined as everyday objects. Let's admit it, child-squids aside, Splatoon probably would be one of Nintendo's funner franchises to see in the real world.
Splatoon 3 will be released on September 9th and pre-orders are now open:
What do you make of this new trailer? Squid on down to the comments and let us know!

Thought the girl in it was Greta Thunberg at first, lol
The slopping ink sounds are so infectious
There gonna drop those things outside one day lol.
How long before this advert gets banned for promoting graffiti?
Nice ad, but of all the Switch games I'd want to play while running around outside Splatoon seems right near the bottom b/c wi-fi. I mean they put a LAN port in the OLED dock for a reason, and it's not just so you can't see that screen you paid an extra $50 for. 😂
So uncivilized.
Looks like they dumbed it down for the american market. Not a fan of that marketing at all. I like the japanese commercials better.(saw them on nintendo japan's youtube)
@WoomyNNYes I agree, it isn't as interesting or clever as the Japanese commercials. The special effects are kind of cool at least
wow, that was some Wii U-era level of cheesy marketing. The kids have that soulless straight-outta-central-casting kind of vibe.
"‘Cause clean is better than dirty and dirty’s meaner than clean! Super Mario Sunshine, only for Nintendo GameCube, rated E for Everyone."
Why weren’t they recreating one of the many new modes? Oh, wait…
Children and teenagers should be encouraged to be well behaved. And they should learn that it is a cool thing.
