We're showing you where to buy the Splatoon 3 Nintendo Switch OLED right here

Splatoon 3 Nintendo Switch OLED stock is out in the wild, which means anyone waiting for the new release before upgrading should be hitting those virtual aisles. We're seeing some strong availability across both the US and UK right now, but we wouldn't take that strength for granted. We're still waiting on a few retailers to take their consoles live, but there's plenty of paint splattered colorways available already. 

Considering just how difficult it was to get your hands on a Nintendo Switch OLED back in the early days of the upgrade's life, we wouldn't wait too long to place your order here. The special edition could easily run off the shelves before you know it, and we'll have another stock hunting situation on our hands. 

As it stands right now, we'd recommend those in the US head over to Best Buy (opens in new tab) or Walmart (opens in new tab) for a plentiful supply at the time of writing. Meanwhile, UK inklings and octolings can haul over to Amazon (opens in new tab) for speedy shipping.

The Splatoon 3 Nintendo Switch OLED is priced at $359.99 / £319.99, $10 / £10 more expensive than the regular console. If you're after the lowest price possible on this console, we'd recommend checking out the latest Nintendo Switch deals on the everyday colorways, or taking a look at the latest Nintendo Switch OLED stock. The Splatoon 3 special edition does not include the full game.

We'd recommend keeping a close eye here if you're after the lowest price possible - though be sure to factor shipping costs into your savings.

While the special edition Splatoon 3 Nintendo Switch OLED can prep you for the next instalment in the splattered franchise, you will not receive a copy of the game when you pick up the console itself. The full game itself will arrive on September 9 (you can pre-order Splatoon 3 and secure yourself plenty of extra goodies at the same time). 

You will, however, receive a new set of special edition Joy-Con, plastered in a blue / purple gradient and a yellow / green gradient, and sporting all the classic icons from the title. The dock also features this patterned design, set against a while chassis and with a bold yellow splat across the corner. 

We're also rounding up all the best Nintendo Switch accessories to get you started with your new console, as well as the best Nintendo Switch cases and best Nintendo Switch SD cards in more detail.
