Nintendo is going all out on for the final Splatfest of Splatoon 3. The fest, dubbed Grand Festival, will kick off on Friday, September 13 (9:00 a.m. JST) and will run until Monday, September 16 (9:00 a.m.) and poses the question, "Which is the most important to you?" with the tri-color options being the following:
- Past
- Present
- Future
The Grand Festival themed lobby will open on September 1 at 9:00 a.m. Japan Time (August 31 in some territories).
Physical Merch
Splat fans can opt to grab t-shirts in celebration of the event. For Japan, these went on sale starting on Wednesday, August 21 and run ¥5,500 each. As of the time of writing this article, they are still available on the Japanese My Nintendo Store. A wrist band is also available for ¥100 and ships out in early September.
Retail Collaboration
Nintendo is teaming up with multiple game, department and electronic stores across Japan in celebration of the Grand Festival. Starting earlier this week on August 21, various retailers have "teamed up" with either Past, Present or Future teams. The shops will be giving out art card sets with the purchase of eligible products. Be sure to check each store for availability.
In addition, the game sections of Yodabashi Camera in Akihabara and Umeda (Osaka) will feature a real-world display of a locker from Splatoon 3.
Splatoon 3 originally released on September 9, 2022. The game has sold 11.71 millions units to date, with 4.5 million units coming from Japan alone.
