Splatoon getting free Ika Musume (squid girl) costumes

But we would see the outfit on japanese players, so it means the data are on our versions anyway and thus the rights need to be acquired for the west regardless.

They could do it in a way, that Japanese players that choose the costume will be automatically grouped with other Japanese people only. They could also update the Western versions with a different costume that will be shown instead, so that we won't even see it, if we are grouped with Japanese peeps who wear it.

So much inconvenience for an outfit lol. Just putting it in the west too would take less effort.

There's very likely already error handling for something like this where it'll show a default costume if it's trying to reference an item it can't find. Pretty common programming.

You know what, good on Nintendo.

For a company to reach out to another company to include a little thing like this that is fan inspired is very cool. It's sure to please a lot of people.

Now it's on NoA to reach out to Nickelodeon and get on that squidward costume

It's not really "fan inspired" because Ika Musume has existed for quite awhile now.
