July 21st marks the third anniversary of Splatoon 2 on Nintendo Switch. The original Splatoon was a surprising success on Wii U.

Over the last three years, however, Splatoon 2 has doubled that number, selling more than 10 million copies, and building up a faithful following. In honor of the game’s anniversary, fans took to social media to celebrate. Nintendo also celebrated in its own way: the company announced that another returning Splatfest will take place on August 21st, and two more Splatfests will also take place in the coming months!
