Who is the publisher of Splatoon Raiders?

Nintendo is the publisher of Splatoon Raiders.

The game is a first-party Nintendo release connected to the Splatoon franchise. Nintendo EPD is credited as its developer, while Nintendo is the company responsible for publishing and releasing the title. That distinction matters: a developer makes the game, whereas a publisher handles its commercial release, distribution, and platform strategy.

Splatoon Raiders was announced as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive and was positioned as the first spin-off in the Splatoon series. Its Nintendo connection is therefore not merely a licensing arrangement; the company owns the franchise and is publishing this new entry itself.

Players sometimes confuse Nintendo with other major Japanese publishers such as Capcom, Sega, or Bandai Namco because those companies also release prominent console games. None is associated with publishing Splatoon Raiders. The title's Nintendo branding, Nintendo EPD development credit, and Switch 2 exclusivity all point to the same publisher.
