Splatoon 3 is entering its third season with new and returning players getting a chance to get old catalog items that they didn’t have access to before.
Splatoon3 players now can access emotes from old catalogs. The third season of Splatoon3 has many cosmetics, gear, and titles that players can unlock.
The Splatoon 3 catalog functions in the same way as battle pass in other multiplayer games such as Fortnite or Apex Legends. Each season lasts approximately three months and comes with a catalog that allows players to level up and earn rewards. The new maps and weapons that were launched in Splatoon3‘s Fresh season give gamers access to the latest catalog. Many people wonder how they can get rewards from old catalogs that they haven’t yet accessed, which is especially relevant for new players.

With the latest Splatoon3 update, fans finally found their answer. Nintendo’s website indicates that old cosmetic items such as emotes or titles will be available again through the Shell-Out Machine Splatoon3. You can use the Shell-Out Machine in the multiplayer lobby to exchange cash for a random reward. Gamers can receive a discount on the machine for 5000 Cash once per day, and each subsequent purchase will cost 30,000 Cash.
This change was not announced by Nintendo on their official North American Splatoon Twitter account. Sappie297, a fan on the Splatoon Subreddit, discovered the change after they obtained an emote through the Shell-Out Machine. Others replied with excitement to their post, expressing excitement at the possibility of getting items that they had missed. However, there was some doubt about whether all rewards would still be available.

Although battle passes have been an integral part of online multiplayer games ever since Fortnite pioneered them, they remain controversial among gamers. Fans were critical of the Season 3 Battle Pass in Overwatch2, which presented misleading rewards. The inclusion of the catalog Splatoon3 is still a contentious issue. This is because players who can’t level up fast enough could miss out on potential rewards. These fans can rest assured that there will be ways for them to still earn items that they missed so that future players can still enjoy the cosmetic items that they have previously enjoyed.
Splatoon 3 is available for Nintendo Switch.
