Squid-kid turf battles, co-op shifts and a solo campaign set in the sun-baked Splatlands.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Splatoon 3 is available at Mascom International for KSh 7,600 as a physical Nintendo Switch game card, brand new and sealed in its retail case. Nintendo released Splatoon 3 in September 2022, as the third main game in its team shooter series, where two squads of four race to cover the map in their own colour of ink. The full game sits on the card, so you start playing without downloading the base game first. Every copy is genuine Nintendo stock, and you can collect Splatoon 3 at our store in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for mobile gamers, university students and families across Kenya, Splatoon 3 rewards quick thinking and teamwork more than reflexes alone. Shots paint the floor instead of drawing blood, which is why the game carries a PEGI 7 rating. Students at Kenyatta University and Strathmore can squad up over local wireless in a hostel room without any internet at all. Parents like that brothers and sisters of different ages can share one game. When KPLC cuts power in the evening, the Nintendo Switch keeps running on battery in handheld mode, so a match or a story level carries on uninterrupted.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops keep games behind glass with no chance to check the seal, Mascom International hands you the sealed Splatoon 3 case to inspect before you pay. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want a Nintendo game they will still play a year later, and this one keeps giving through Anarchy Battles, Salmon Run shifts and the Tableturf Battle card game. Splatoon 2 is also on our shelf at KSh 300 less, and our staff will explain the difference honestly. Visit the store, or message us on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About Splatoon 3
How much is Splatoon 3 for Nintendo Switch in Kenya?
Splatoon 3 costs KSh 7,600 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed as a physical Nintendo Switch game card. That price covers the card in its original retail case, a 6-month warranty on the card and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Splatoon 2 sits KSh 300 lower at KSh 7,300 in the same stock. You can pay with M-Pesa or cash when the parcel reaches your door, or buy over the counter at our Kimathi Street store.
Do you need Nintendo Switch Online to play Splatoon 3?
Yes, online battles in Splatoon 3 need a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership, which is sold separately from the game card. Without one, you can still play Story Mode, Tableturf Battle against computer opponents, and local wireless matches with two to eight consoles in the same room. Nintendo also notes that Save Data Cloud backup covers offline play data only for this game. Budget for the membership if Turf War and Anarchy Battles against players worldwide are the main reasons you are buying.
Splatoon 3 or Splatoon 2: which one should you buy?
Splatoon 3 is the better pick for most buyers, costing KSh 300 more than Splatoon 2 at Mascom International. Splatoon 3 adds Anarchy Battle ranked modes, Tableturf Battle, Big Run events and the paid Side Order expansion. Splatoon 2 offers Turf War, League Battle, Salmon Run and its Hero Mode campaign. Both support two to eight players online and over local wireless. Choose Splatoon 2 if you want the Octo Expansion story, which Nintendo includes with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.
Will Splatoon 3 play smoothly on Safaricom or Airtel internet in Kenya?
Splatoon 3 plays online over any stable home connection in Kenya, including Safaricom Home Fibre, Airtel 4G routers and Zuku fibre. Matches suffer more from patchy Wi-Fi than from low speeds, so sit near the router or use a cable. The Nintendo Switch OLED dock has a LAN port for a wired connection, while the original Switch needs a USB LAN adapter. A phone hotspot works for casual Turf War, though a dropped signal can throw you out mid-match.
Does Splatoon 3 work on Nintendo Switch 2?
Nintendo states that most Nintendo Switch games run on Nintendo Switch 2, and the Splatoon 3 game card fits the same card slot. Some titles behave differently on the later console, so message us on WhatsApp before buying for a Switch 2 and we will confirm the current compatibility details for Splatoon 3. The game also runs on every original-generation model: the standard Nintendo Switch, the Switch OLED and the Switch Lite, which plays in handheld mode only.
Can you play Splatoon 3 alone without internet?
Yes, Splatoon 3 includes a full single-player Story Mode that runs offline, plus Tableturf Battle, a collectible card game played against computer opponents. Salmon Run, the co-op mode where up to four players fight waves of Salmonids, needs online play or friends nearby with their own consoles. Story Mode also teaches each weapon type before you face real players. The paid Side Order add-on brings a further single-player challenge once you finish the main campaign and want more.
Who should buy Splatoon 3 and who should skip it?
Splatoon 3 suits players who enjoy fast team matches, have steady internet and will pay for Nintendo Switch Online. Siblings, hostel roommates and friends with several consoles also get plenty from local wireless battles. Skip it if you mostly play alone and want a long story; Paper Mario The Origami King, also in stock at Mascom International, fits that buyer better. Skip it too if your connection drops often, because a lost signal removes you from the match.
Can two people play Splatoon 3 on one Nintendo Switch?
No, Splatoon 3 supports one player per console and has no split-screen mode. Two to eight players need one Nintendo Switch and one copy of the game each for local wireless battles, plus a Nintendo Switch Online membership each for online play. Families sharing a single console take turns instead. Separate user profiles on the same Switch keep each person's progress, gear and rank apart, so nobody overwrites a sibling's save.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Game Modes
- Genre: team action shooter — you fire ink instead of bullets, and the side covering the most ground wins Turf War.
- Turf War, the regular battle mode — two teams of four paint the map, so even beginners help by covering floor.
- Anarchy Battle — Splat Zones, Tower Control, Rainmaker and Clam Blitz, the ranked modes where holding objectives matters more than painting.
- Salmon Run — a co-op mode for up to four players fighting waves of Salmonids, good for friends who prefer teamwork.
- Story Mode — a single-player campaign that runs offline and teaches each weapon before you meet real opponents.
- Tableturf Battle — a card game inside Splatoon 3 played against computer opponents, handy for quiet sessions with no internet.
- Private Battle and events — custom matches with friends, plus Splatfests and Big Runs that Nintendo schedules for all players.
Compatibility and Online Requirements
- Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED and Switch Lite — the card runs on all three; the Lite plays in handheld mode only.
- TV, tabletop and handheld modes — one save follows you from the living-room screen to a seat on the bus.
- Nintendo Switch 2 — Nintendo states most Switch games run on Switch 2; confirm Splatoon 3 details with us on WhatsApp.
- Players — one per console; two to eight over local wireless or online, each player with their own console and copy.
- Online play — needs a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership for every player, sold separately from the game card.
- Save Data Cloud — Nintendo supports cloud backup for offline play data only, which matters when moving to another console.
- Languages — English plus Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Korean and Chinese, following the console language setting.
Build and Game Card Format
- Physical Nintendo Switch game card — the base game loads straight from the card, with no large download before first play.
- Download edition size — Nintendo lists 9.9GB for the digital version, space the card keeps free on your console.
- Updates — Nintendo patches download over the internet and save to console storage or a microSD card, not the card itself.
- Lending and resale — a physical card moves between consoles and can be lent or resold, unlike a purchase locked to one account.
- Sealed retail case — the case arrives factory sealed, so you can check it at our counter before paying.
- Age rating — PEGI 7, because ink splats replace any blood or gore in battles.
- Release date — Nintendo launched the game card on 9 September 2022, and the Expansion Pass followed in February 2023.
Inclusions and Extra Content
- In the case — one Splatoon 3 game card, ready for the card slot on top of the console.
- Expansion Pass — a paid add-on with Inkopolis and the Side Order single-player mode, sold separately on the Nintendo eShop.
- Online membership — Nintendo Switch Online is sold separately and is needed for Turf War, Anarchy Battle and Salmon Run online.
- Splatfests — scheduled online events where players pick a team and battle for it, which also need the online membership.
- Controllers — not included; Joy-Con, a Pro Controller or the Switch Lite's built-in controls all work, with motion aiming switchable.
- Gear and weapons — you unlock and customise clothing, shoes and weapon kits through play, with no extra purchase required.
- Lobby and hub — the Splatsville plaza is where you pick modes, shop for gear and meet other players between matches.
Package Contents
Your Splatoon 3 purchase arrives exactly as Nintendo ships it: one Splatoon 3 game card inside its original retail case, factory sealed. Nothing else is bundled, so a Nintendo Switch console, extra controllers and a Nintendo Switch Online membership are separate purchases. Our staff check the seal with you at the counter, and delivery parcels leave the Kimathi Street store with the wrapping intact. Keep the case for storage, since loose game cards are small and easy to misplace.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Splatoon 3 game card with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, such as a card the console cannot read under normal use. Claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk in the Old Mutual Building; bring the card, its case and your receipt so our team can test it.
