Every Splatoon item can be unlocked by scanning ANY of the amiibo listed above, there are no specific requirements.
To scan a Splatoon amiibo, use the Nook Stop terminal inside Resident Services, and select ‘Invite amiibo Camper’ — even if you’re not looking to invite a villager. You can also scan at Photopia on Harv’s Island or The Roost to unlock items if you have already invited a villager for the day.
The Legend of Zelda villagers and items were also added in Version 3.0.
Splatoon Villagers: Viché & Cece
Two villagers inspired by Splatoon characters can be invited to your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons Version 3.0:
- Viché, the female normal squirrel villager inspired by Shiver in Splatoon 3.
- Cece, the female peppy squirrel villager inspired by Frye in Splatoon 3.
Though the names are the same as Splatoon villagers from Animal Crossing: New Leaf, their appearances have significantly changed to match characters from Splatoon 3, instead of the first Splatoon game.
After scanning one of their matching amiibo at the Nook Stop, Viché or Cece will move into your island’s campsite for the day. Invite, visit, and talk to them every day for 3 days while fulfilling their DIY crafted item requests to invite them as a proper resident on your island. You will need to pick a villager to be replaced if you already have 10.
Splatoon Items: Furniture & Clothing
Collaboration items from Splatoon, including both furniture and clothing, can be unlocked exclusively by tapping any compatible Splatoon amiibo figure to your Nintendo Switch. It does not matter which one, as long as it’s from the Splatoon series.
After unlocking with an amiibo tap, you can purchase these Splatoon items under the Special Goods Promotion section of Nook Shopping. Access the menu either through the Nook Stop terminal at Resident Services or the Nook Shopping app on your NookPhone if unlocked.
Some of the items above, like the different colored Crab Tanks, are variations that must be customized at a DIY Workbench. And by the way, if you want to obtain the entire collection, be sure to order items every day as there is a daily limit of 5 orders per day at Nook Shopping!
Getting Splatoon Items Without Amiibo
Even if you don’t have access to Splatoon amiibo, you can still enjoy these items by trading with a friend or other players online.
However, do note that the typical strategy of picking up and dropping an item from another player to ‘catalog’ it, to later order a copy for yourself does not work for these amiibo items. They’re only for sale in the Promotion tab of Nook Shopping when the amiibo has been scanned by you.
You’ll have to be gifted an actual copy of the item if you don’t own a Splatoon amiibo figure yourself. For convenience, you can also directly mail them to friends using the Send as Gift option in Nook Shopping.
