- Splatoon 2 (Digital download code)

Releasing September 8th, costs $379.99. Exclusive to Walmart.

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 Americas 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.

... And is already sold out.

Doctoglethorpe · Aug 17, 2017

Don't even give you the carrying case for free. What a deal.

Why the hell do the Americans and Japanese get the splatoon joy-cons while Europe gets red and blue.

At least you can buy the Green and Pink standalone. They still haven't been released in NA.

'cause they want to sell them to you separately.

Zedark · Aug 17, 2017

Strange timing. Why would Europe and Japan get it at launch but US only after 1 and a half month?

Mupod · Aug 17, 2017

Huh, might actually go for this. The walmart near me has switches in stock regularly so maybe I could get one.

Maybe they couldn't manufacture enough for all three continents at the same time.

Skittzo0413 · Aug 17, 2017

I'm patiently awaiting the day I can just buy a pack of the two neon green joycons.

Could be. The fact that they are now apparently able to, while Japan will likely continue to get those bundles for a long time still, might suggest that they have more units available in total. Hope that's the case.

OP you didn't mention the best part, the beautiful box!

From retailer exclusive dlc to retailer exclusive hardware. They really are in the same boat with the likes of Ubisoft and WB when it comes to shady practices.

GifGafIsTheBestGaf · Aug 17, 2017

got myself another neon switch, would be nice if they released this one standalone

It's in the picture

Edit: never mind I misunderstood

evilromero · Aug 17, 2017

Not bad but holding out for a Mario Odyssey bundle or BF bundle. Still, this makes me hopeful for future bundles.

tiebreaker · Aug 17, 2017

wow. EU only got the blue red neon bundle.

Actually the EU version has the Red/Blue Neon bundled with Splatoon 2. This has the Pink/Green Joy-Cons

Edit : Beaten.

I mean, why would they give you a deal when the thing's selling out quickly? It's an unrealistic expectation at this point in time imo.

You think they're going to have a deal on something that's always out of stock on Black Friday? wellgoodluck.jpg

Are they gonna release these joycon colors separately? I'm still upset everyone is sold out of the Splatoon themed pro controller

doop_ · Aug 17, 2017

In Japan the bundle also came with a physical game and sticker sheet of all the in-game brand logos.

ggx2ac · Aug 17, 2017

Oh, this would actually be the first Switch bundle ever. I remember when we thought Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would be the one to have a bundle.

Auron_Kale · Aug 17, 2017

Hoping now that the pink and green joycons will be available to purchase separately here in the NA once this bundle arrives.

Kyzer · Aug 17, 2017

Its year 1, bundle discounts wont happen until xmas season at the earliest. The Switch is actually selling well

Same! Been wanting them since seeing them!

Im of the opinion a bundle should save you some amount of money.

It is cheaper to buy this than a scalped switch off of eBay or some of those GameStop bundles so you are saving money

...dont buy it then ? And you are saving money compared to whatever shitty Gamestop bundle or ebay offer would be the alternative.

Edit:
Damn Lkr...lol

Damn I really want those joy cons

If you want to try your luck for the pro controller, Amazon is getting them back in stock on the 23rd.

RecRoulette · Aug 17, 2017

Fuck. Looks like the Joycons won't release on that day outside of the bundle then. I'll keep watching Amazon Japan.

Edit: This does seem to imply that those Joy-Cons will be released separately at some point, just not on that date.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
