New Splatfest Topic Announced: Flight vs. Invisibility

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Walmart will be the exclusive retail partner for a new Nintendo Switch bundle that includes a download code for the Splatoon 2 game, a fresh carrying case and colorful new Joy-Con controllers in Neon Pink and Neon Green. The bundle will be available starting Sept. 8 at a suggested retail price of $379.99 and offers fans in North America their first chance to get their hands on that Joy-Con color combination.

“Consumers in Japan and Europe have already had a strong response to Splatoon 2 bundles in their territories,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “This exclusive Walmart bundle gives people who have been waiting to buy a Nintendo Switch a great value and incentive to get splatting.”

 

Nintendo also announced the topic of its next Splatfest competition, which will run Sept. 1-2. Participants will pick a side to fight alongside in online Turf War battles by choosing which superpower they would prefer: flight or invisibility. Additional details about the Splatfest will be announced in the future.

 

The Splatfest is just one of many new elements in the slate of ongoing content updates and in-game events keeping Splatoon 2 fans engaged, with more and more players jumping into battle every day. There have already been more than 400 million online battles fought across the global player base, and after less than a month on store shelves, Splatoon 2 joins other global million-selling Nintendo Switch hits like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, 1-2-Switch and ARMS.

Not a bad bundle if you haven't gotten a Switch/Splatoon 2 yet, but more importantly for those of us that have there'll be another Splatfest in two weeks. Unfortunately I'm going to be out of town that weekend (it's PAX West weekend!) but I think I'll be rooting for team flight. Kinda seems like they should've released the bundle before the Splatfest though to get new players in on the action.

This bundle does not save anyone any money as everything in there is pretty much retail. It's nice, however, if you want to show off your love for Splatoon. Both the grey and neon Switches were available at retail value on Amazon earlier today. I found my cursor hovering over the "buy now" button when I realized that I'd be sitting on nothing to play for at least a month until Mario Odyssey came out, then who-knows-how-long until FEW and XC2. Rather than give into temptation "because is teh rares" I now see Nintendo is willing to start creating bundles, renewing my motivation to wait for a bundle I actually give a toss about. Maybe a Fire Emblem themed Switch or something.

Im somewhat interested in this  actually - the included items aren't too bad (compared to some of Gamestops bundles, anyway)

 

Would rather get Splatoon 2 digitally anyway, so i think this might work out if i can jump on it quick enough

 

Though i wonder if we should expect to see online preorders available at some point in the next week or so? Should keep an eye on that.....
