Splatoon Raiders will set you back <strong>\u00a341.99 \/ $49.99<\/strong> digitally or <strong>$59.99<\/strong> physically (we&#8217;re still waiting for word on the physical UK price, though it&#8217;ll likely be around \u00a349.99).<\/p>\n<p>The physical is marked a little higher, marking the second game to adopt the physical\/digital split in North America after Nintendo introduced its new pricing structure for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/yoshi-and-the-mysterious-book\">Yoshi and the Mysterious Book<\/a>. This pricing difference has been in effect in Europe for some time.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, that&#8217;s not too bad for a Switch 2 exclusive! We still don&#8217;t know all that much about the game itself, of course, but that&#8217;s still cheaper than we were expecting.<\/p>\n<p>As for the cover art, we&#8217;ve got a fresh image of the Deep Cut trio and your playable Mechanic character all in cool action poses. There&#8217;s a lot of ink on the ground (natch), and a horde of ominous red-eyed Salmonids loom in the background.
