Nintendo Celebrates 10 Years of Splatoon With Music Update, Switch Icons, and Free Wallpaper

Nintendo is commemorating the 10th anniversary of Splatoon, one of its most successful original franchises, with a suite of celebratory updates and digital content.

First debuting on May 28, 2015, for the Wii U, Splatoon took a bold approach with its unique ink-based gameplay and quickly established itself as a defining series for Nintendo.

Over the past decade, Splatoon has evolved, seeing sequels on the Nintendo Switch and earning a strong following among fans worldwide. To honor this milestone, Nintendo has rolled out several new initiatives aimed at fans of all ages.

Among the highlights is a significant update to the Nintendo Music app, exclusive user profile icons for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, and a special free wallpaper download available via Nintendo’s official website. **Nintendo Music App Adds Splatoon Soundtrack Update** In a major content addition, the Nintendo Music app has introduced nearly 90 minutes of music from the original Splatoon (2015) release.

This update encompasses 47 tracks, featuring fan-favorite music from in-game personalities such as the Squid Sisters, Squid Squad, Chirpy Chips, DJ Octavio, Hightide Era, and Turquoise October.

Players and music enthusiasts can access the full collection now through the Nintendo Music app, available on both iOS and Android platforms via their respective app stores. **Switch Online Unveils Splatoon-Themed Icons** Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can now show their inkling pride with a new lineup of Splatoon-themed user icons.

The first wave of these exclusive icons is accessible starting today, with three additional waves planned for release in the upcoming weeks.

These icons are fully customizable, allowing users to combine different borders and backgrounds, which can be redeemed using Platinum Points earned through My Nintendo missions.

To personalize their profile, users simply navigate to the Nintendo Switch Online menu from the home screen and select their preferred Splatoon icon. **Anniversary Wallpaper Now Available for Free** In addition to in-app content, Nintendo has published a commemorative Splatoon wallpaper, featuring new artwork that showcases characters from across all three games in the trilogy.

This artwork is available for free download from Nintendo.com in various aspect ratios suitable for both PCs and mobile devices.

While a 4K version of the wallpaper was featured in Nintendo’s social media posts, it is currently not listed as an option on the official site. These efforts underscore the enduring popularity and impact of Splatoon, which has not only enriched the Nintendo Switch lineup but also left a lasting impression on multiplayer gaming.

For more details on the ongoing Splatoon 10th anniversary celebrations, fans are encouraged to visit the official Nintendo website and check for further announcements on the Nintendo eShop and Switch Online services.
