Redditor u/jlu97 makes note of a particular idiosyncrasy inSplatoon 3—that even with the Splatcast broadcast minimized in Splatsville, players can still watch it live at the station beside the Turf War lobby. Indeed, many new fans may not even know thatDeep Cut’s Anarchy Splatcast, which automatically airs live for the player once they startSplatoon 3, can be minimized by clicking in the left analog stick.
Having onlylaunched last Friday,Splatoon 3has already reached an astonishing sales milestoneof over 3.45 million units sold in Japan. This demonstrates how beloved the franchise is three installments in, as players continue to enjoy ordinary Turf War battles, ranked Anarchy Battles, Salmon Run, and all the other contentSplatoon 3has to offer.

Once players have minimized the Splatcast, or even once it has already ended, players can head on over tothe broadcast station inSplatoon 3’s Splatsvilleto observe the broadcast’s live taping and see Shiver, Frye, and Big Man past the glass. Redditor u/jlu97 demonstrates this with a clip where they have their free-looking lens zoomed in on the station. Their Photo Shoot lens is framed in such a way that it perfectly resembles how the original Splatcast looks, and thus players can choose to watch it as it airs for them autonomously, or they may simply stand behind the glass and watch it in person.
This has no effect on gameplay, but it is a neat tidbit that shows how immersively interwoven the player is inSplatoon 3’s atmosphere. Shiver, Frye, and Big Man feel intimately close to the player and are not dissociated fromSplatoon 3in any way.
Previously Inkopolis News, Anarchy Splatcasts function nearly identically. They are not mandatory to listen to, with players never having to explicitly tune into them, though they are helpful for anyone who wishes to know what stages they can expect for rotation in different battle modes.
Splatcasts are also where players will be informed aboutSplatoon 3’s Splatfestswhen they eventually occur. Additionally, players can find rotational stage information in the “Stages” menu found after pressing the “X” input. But Splatcasts are a fun way forSplatoon 3to relay this information to players each time they boot the game up, and it is made even more interesting knowing that Deep Cut is visible in Splatsville as it is airing live.
