Splatoon 3 has been given a second wind on the Switch 2 thanks to a new update enhancing the game's resolution and frame rates.
As part of this, Nintendo is also bringing back the game's 'Summer Nights' Splatfest event starting this week and running through the entire weekend. This time you're fighting for your preferred mode of transport - Team Land, Team Sea or Team Air.
