A Splatoon 3-Themed Nintendo Switch OLED to be Released This August — How Much Is It?

Just recently, Nintendo announced a brand-new Switch OLED with a beautiful coat of paint.

New Splatoon 3 Edition Switch OLED Model

Engadget noted that special-edition Switch models are occasionally released by Nintendo.

Nintendo unveiled the Splatoon 3 Edition Switch OLED model on Wednesday. It is more expensive at $360 than the $350 standard OLED. The OLED version of the Switch is the latest hardware update and has a bigger, brighter screen than the standard Switch, according to CNET.

The gorgeous Joy-Cons on the Nintendo Switch OLED with a Splatoon 3 theme are covered in paint splats and gradient colors. The dock itself is painted a gorgeous shade of cheerful yellow and features all the customary Splatoon-style graphics.

Nintendo Life mentioned that since the Switch OLED's launch in October of last year, this is the first themed version we have seen, and we are currently pretty impressed.

However, Nintendo has also got a new Pro Controller and a Carrying Case to enable you to play Splatoon on the go if you don't fancy a new OLED or Switch.

Here is a closer look at the console, the Pro Controller, and those lovely new Joy-Con.

Costs for the Pro Controller and the case are $75 and $25, respectively.

The Switch OLED will go on market for a cool $360 on Aug. 26. The controller and carrying case will go on sale on Sept. 9, the same day that Splatoon 3 arrives.
