Nintendo is finally unlocking a huge update for Splatoon 3!

After years of gaming through the same engine, Nintendo has finally announced a fresh one for its fans. In the past, the Japanese giant used the NEX online system, which first came out on the 3DS in 2011. Since then, Nintendo never updated their system, limiting fans to a certain one throughout platforms.

As a result, they experimented with it on Monster Hunter Rise and Pokemon Legends: Arceus. To their surprise, they received mind-blowing results, conditioning them to use it in all their upcoming games.

Looking at this, the Japanese juggernaut has decided to use the same engine for Splatoon 3, dropping on September 9. Interestingly, its predecessor used the old engine so it would be a great way for the franchise to compare them. Nintendo has crowned the name “NPLN” for its new engine and confirmed that they have developed it themselves. While it is little known about how much it can impact the game, leakers and informants already have a positive feeling. 

Apart from this, the update will add“new lobby system for Splatoon 3, allowing players to quickly see which multiplayer mode their friends playing and then join them in mid-battle. You can even call out to friends to let them know that you’re available to team up.”
