Nintendo has been loving the last-minute announcements and specific game Directs lately, so it’s not a huge surprise to see that they warned us of a Splatoon 3 Direct just two days before it was due to happen on Wednesday, the 10th of August.
Even with only two days to go, Nintendo of Europe managed to mess up, and almost accidentally revealed the Direct a day earlier than planned. The squid-filled shooter is scheduled to launch on September 9th, exactly a month from today… and maybe Nintendo forgot that the game was due on the 9th (of September), but the Direct was due on the 10th (of August).
As GoNintendo spotted earlier today, the UK, Australian, and Belgian YouTube channels went live with a ten-minute countdown to the Direct, before Nintendo seemed to notice with only three minutes and 34 seconds to go. Other reports seem to imply that more Nintendo channels were involved, including Spain, and Germany.
Nothing serious was leaked, though, so no harm done.

Darn, so close. Would have been more convenient for my schedule than tomorrow’s real stream.
Selfish me would have liked the entire thing to have been accidentally released today, but oh well. I can wait one more day.
Looking forward to this game as I really enjoyed Splatoon 2 for a time and I don’t know why but I completely stopped playing it, somewhere around when the last main Splatfest was.
It’s been long enough since S2 that I’m ready for some more painting!
It’s not like it’s a bunch of surprise announcements it’s just showing some more of a game that’s coming out soon 🤷♂️
When I was at the height of playing Splatoon 2, only a few of my friends had a Switch and those that did weren’t really interested in playing.
At this point, even a couple of my non- gamer friends own a Switch, and I’m betting that I can get a team of 4 together a lot easier these days. For that reason alone, I’m hoping there a Testfire soon that might just get them hooked.
I’m just wondering if there’s going to be enough different between 2 and 3. I’m sure people that are really into Splatoon already know more or less what to expect for the next game.
