Summary

  • Nintendo has put a Splatoon Raiders demo live at Switch 2 kiosks in the US and Canada ahead of the game's launch later this month.
  • The in-store build includes three levels and lets players test multiple weapons and items, offering an early look at the new single-player-focused entry.
  • Best Buy, Walmart, Target and GameStop locations are carrying the demo, but Nintendo has not released it for home download.
  • That kiosk-only rollout contrasts with recent eShop demos for Star Fox and Rhythm Heaven Groove, as final previews this week painted Splatoon Raiders as a promising twist on the series.
