Splatoon 3 Debuts New Track 'Suffer No Fools': Off the Hook and Deep Cut Shine in Latest Splatfest Music Release

Nintendo has once again energized the Splatoon 3 community with the official release of 'Suffer No Fools,' a brand-new music track available via its latest update for the hit Nintendo Switch shooter.

The track pits two of the series’ most popular musical duos — Off the Hook (Pearl and Marina) and Deep Cut (Shiver and Frye, also known as Fire & Ice) — against each other in a spirited rap battle that’s already creating buzz among longtime fans. Following a week marked by music-related surprises — including the swift withdrawal and replacement of a previous track by Nintendo — today’s debut of 'Suffer No Fools' reinforces the developer’s commitment to keeping Splatoon 3’s Splatlands setting feeling fresh and dynamic.

The full music video, which Nintendo published on its official channels, comes complete with translated lyrics, allowing fans worldwide to enjoy every lyrical jab exchanged by the iconic in-game idols. In a reimagined statement derived from recent coverage, Nintendo continues to highlight their focus on player engagement and creative in-game content: 'Each Splatfest is more than just a community event — the unique music, led by fan-favorite characters, elevates the experience and brings the world of Splatoon 3 to life.' Originally launched on September 9, 2022, Splatoon 3 continues to dominate the Nintendo Switch eShop charts, building on its predecessors’ reputation for competitive multiplayer action and a vibrant aesthetic.

The title is recognized for integrating live musical performances, with groups like Off the Hook and Deep Cut central to both the game’s identity and its recurring Splatfest events. The recent Splatfest event, held globally last weekend, saw Team Keyboard and Team Usushio securing regional victories, punctuating the importance of these community showdowns.

As confirmed by Nintendo, 'Suffer No Fools' will feature prominently in future Splatfests, adding a new layer of excitement and energy for players during upcoming votes. Nintendo’s commitment to regularly updating Splatoon 3 not only with gameplay features but also with cultural touchstones like new music and idol appearances speaks to a development philosophy driven by innovation and fan connection.

These efforts help Splatoon 3 maintain its strong sales momentum, while continually raising player expectations for what the Nintendo Switch platform can deliver. As the Splatlands continue to host intense competitions and lively musical interludes, Splatoon 3 asserts its legacy as a flagship multiplayer title for the Nintendo Switch — and with tracks like 'Suffer No Fools' headlining community events, its popularity shows no signs of slowing down.
