6 Changes To Make Splatoon 3 Go From Good To Great

When Nintendo first introduced Splatoon to audiences in 2014, it immediately felt like a fresh take on the third-person shooter genre that could only be developed by the same company behind Super Mario and Kirby. Eight years later, Splatoon 3 would impress audiences again and cement the franchise as one of Nintendo's most successful new IPs in a long time.

While Splatoon 3 refines every element of its predecessors and introduces new modes and ideas to play with, there's always room for improvement. It's hard to complain about a game that provides so much content, but having these following features could help make the experience better for everyone.

6/6 More Than One Song During Splatfests

Splatfests are exciting events that pit players against each other as they fight to represent their chosen team. All of Splatsville becomes a giant party for a weekend and Deep Cut - Anarchy Splatcast hosts Shiver, Frye, and Big Man - perform a concert on a giant stage for everyone to enjoy.

The trio has a blast performing the hit song "Anarchy Rainbow" during Splatfests, but it's the only song they play during a three-day festival. It's a great track that certainly gets you pumped up before entering a Turf War, but it would be so much better if the band rotated through a few tracks to keep things fresh.

5/6 Customizable Weapons

Splatoon 3 has so many weapons to choose from it can feel a bit overwhelming at first. Not only does each one have different stats like range and damage output to consider, but they also come with a sub-weapon and special attack that you can't switch out for anything else.

The developers have put a lot of thought into balancing each weapon, but it would be nice if you could switch out the sub-weapon and special attack to create the weapon of your dreams. The weapon's stats would need to be adjusted to keep players from building overpowered devices, so if you wanted to apply the Booyah Bomb to the N-ZAP '85 it would need a worse fire rate and range to compensate.

4/6 Two Salmon Run Maps

One of the biggest complaints about Splatoon 2 was that Salmon Run - its cooperative horde mode - was unavailable to play on certain days of the week. It was an unusual decision at the time, but Splatoon 3 once again improves on its predecessor by allowing you to hop into it whenever you like either with friends or a crew of helpful strangers.

While being able to participate in Salmon Run 24/7 is a vast improvement, there is still one thing that could make the mode much more appealing. While Turf Wars and Anarchy Battles rotate between new maps every couple of hours, Salmon Run only has one stage available to play on, and it only changes after forty hours. Playing on one stage for long enough can get pretty dull, so adding a second to the mix could help make Salmon Run much more exciting.

3/6 Improved Voice Chat

Unless you're engaging with the single-player campaign or Tableturf Battles, you'll spend most of your time in Splatoon 3 working alongside other Inklings or Octolings in one of the multiplayer modes. It's always great to be able to communicate with your team, but Nintendo doesn't make it easy by having to use their mobile app to do so.

Despite the Nintendo Switch receiving Bluetooth support in September 2021, you still can't use it to chat with friends online. If you don't want to mess with the Nintendo Switch Online app you could always use third-party options like Discord, but it would be amazing if the company finally added proper voice chat to not only Splatoon 3 but all of their online titles as well.

2/6 Jukebox Feature

It's difficult to imagine Splatoon without its unique and sensational soundtrack. Each game has been elevated by a new genre of music that sounds like a fusion between punk and idol pop which has been created by in-universe bands like Front Roe and C-Side. The soundtracks have become so popular that Nintendo frequently hosts concerts featuring holograms of the performers.

With such a rich library of music already in its catalog, it would be great if you could access and listen to your favorite tracks whenever you like. There is no music in Splatsville except for during Splatfests, so installing a jukebox with songs from every game could help provide some background music while you're shopping or looking at another player's art.

1/6 Daily Quests

A majority of shooters like Fortnite or Halo feature daily quests to incentivize you to check in on a regular basis and earn rewards just for playing. Splatoon 3 might be one of the few games in the genre to not have this mechanic, but if there were extra challenges to complete it would be another excellent reason to boot it up at least once a day.

Daily quests could take place during Turf Wars or Anarchy Battles and reward you with extra coins, Splashtags, and ability chunks. Challenges could range from "Use Tenta Missiles 10 Times" to "Say Booyah 15 Times In One Match" and force you to decide between supporting your team or going rogue and finishing your tasks. They would provide you with even more fun and help Splatoon 3 stay on top of everyone's priority list.
