Splatoon 3 may be the second Nintendo game releasing this year to use AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0, according to some recent findings.
Well-known dataminer OatmealDome shared on their Twitter profile a new screenshot that has been making the rounds revealing that the third entry in the shooter series will be using AMD FSR 1.0. While not as good as version 2.0, AMD FSR 1.0 will let the game run smoothly without compromising visual quality too much. As already mentioned, if Splatoon 3 will indeed use AMD FSR 1.0, it wouldn't be the first game developed by Nintendo to do so, as Nintendo Switch Sports uses AMD's upscaling tech.

Splatoon 3 appears to be using AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0.
Note that this is *not* 2.0, which uses temporal upscaling (upscaling using data from prior frames). 1.0 uses spatial upscaling (upscaling based only on data from the current frame). https://t.co/BnxW1cYzoI

In other news, OatmealDome also confirmed that Nintendo will be using a new in-house server system called NPLN for Splatoon 3, which will power many of the new Lobby features of the game. In-game netcode will likely still be peer-to-peer.

Nintendo is using NPLN, a new in-house server system, for Splatoon 3.
Many of the new Lobby features take advantage of NPLN. They would be more difficult or impossible to add with the old system, NEX.
Note that in-game netcode is likely still peer-to-peer (pia). https://t.co/cFKexTxhP2
