Splatoon Raiders Sets Record Metacritic User Score

Nintendo's Switch title Splatoon Raiders has climbed to the seventh‑highest user score ever recorded on Metacritic, posting an average rating of 9.3 out of 10. Professional critic reviews give the game an 81/100, placing it 64th among titles released in 2026. The strong community response coincides with robust sales in Japan, where weekly shipments reached 474,684 copies, edging toward the half‑million mark. Metacritic’s recent 36‑hour delay on user submissions aims to curb review‑bombing, but the game’s performance highlights a dedicated fan base. The achievement underscores the title’s popularity within Nintendo’s portfolio and its impact on the platform’s market momentum.
