Nintendo a annoncé une mise à jour majeure pour Splatoon 3, qui porte le jeu à la version 1.2.0.

Le patchnote (en anglais):

Changes and Feature Improvements

Changes to amiibo

Added support for the Inkling (Yellow), Octoling (Blue), and Smallfry amiibo.

Changes to Communication

Made improvements to data transfer between players.
- On average, data will be transferred about .05 seconds more quickly than before.
- Users can expect to see a reduction in the time it takes from a player being dealt damage to them being defeated, the time it takes from touching a Golden Egg to actually picking it up, and other similar actions.
- These improvements cannot fully compensate for a slow or unreliable internet connection.

Changes to Multiplayer

Specifications for some of the sub weapons have been changed.
Sub-Weapon Name Change
Fizzy Bomb
Increased the time it takes for ink to start recovering after using a Fizzy Bomb by about .25 seconds.
Points required for some weapon specials have been changed.

Weapon Name Before After

Flingza Roller 200 210

Sloshing Machine 200 210

REEF-LUX 450 200 210

Sub-Weapon Name	Change
Fizzy Bomb	Increased the time it takes for ink to start recovering after using a Fizzy Bomb by about .25 seconds.

Weapon Name	Before	After
Flingza Roller	200	210
Sloshing Machine	200	210
REEF-LUX 450	200	210

Changes to Splatfest

Made it so that when players from each team appear during Open and Pro Splatfest Battles, each team’s affiliation is also displayed, making it easy to know which Splatfest team they’re on.
Made it possible to report “Fresh!” hand-drawn pictures that appear in the sky above Splatsville during a Splatfest.

Other Changes

Information like the name of the current mode and progress through a challenge will now be displayed when opening the lobby menu during matchmaking in the lobby or Grizzco.
When playing alone, immediately after choosing “Keep Going” or “Change Gear, Then Go!” the player can now use the – Button in the lobby or Grizzco to cancel matchmaking, depending on the game mode selected.
In the lobby or Grizzco, when the player can select “OK!” or “Yeah” when joining a friend, a sound effect will now play and the controller will vibrate to notify the player.
Improved the efficiency of matchmaking for Anarchy Battles (Open), Anarchy Battles (Series), Splatfest Battles (Open), and Tricolor Attack.
- These changes mean that a pair of players joining an Anarchy Battle (Open) or Splatfest Battle (Open) can expect shorter wait times.
When reading amiibo with a Freshest Fit saved on the equip screen, there will now be an exclamation point where “Freshest Fit” is displayed on the bottom right of the screen.

This update focuses on adjusting some weapons, improving several features, and fixing bugs that relate to battles.

We’ve implemented several adjustments to curtail to a certain extent the style of play where the player stays far removed from the action and continually uses sub weapons or special weapons. This patch prioritizes bug fixes, and other adjustments to weapons will continue in the next update.

In addition, we’ve reduced the amount of time matchmaking takes for certain modes, reduced battle latency, and made small convenience improvements to the lobby and more.

The next update will focus on new features for the season beginning in December, weapon balance changes, and changes to the Splatfest Tricolor Attack mode. It is scheduled to be released at the end of the current season.
