Splatoon 3

Choose the battle mode only after counting players and deciding whether everyone is online, on local wireless, or on wired LAN. Nintendo says Splatoon 3 has no split-screen; for example, a 5–10-player private lobby is supported online, but a 5–10-player online Salmon Run is not. Use the local planner below as a quick matrix lookup, not a connection test.
