The game, as recently launched by Nintendo, has a huge preference by fans for it since the previous Splatoon games made a strong market for themselves and fans especially loved Splatoon 2 because of its fluid mechanics.
What else can fans get along with the Splatoon physical copies
At the New York store, if fans get their hands on time, they can buy some cool Splatoon 3 stickers and some brand new Nintendo Amiibos. Along with this, fans can also buy Splatoon 3 key chains and squishes as well.
