Splatoon 2 Article

Promotion
Similarly to the first game, Splatoon 2 features Splatfest events that include crossovers with other brands, both from other Nintendo properties such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Super Mario Bros., and third-party franchises including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, McDonald's, Uniqlo, Nike, Sanrio, Meiji, Pocky, and NPB.

Additionally, Splatoon 2 sported exclusive promotional gear. In collaboration with 7-11 in Japan, by pre-ording Splatoon 2, buyers received a code for four exclusive pieces of in-game gear. These pieces of gear were later available worldwide via My Nintendo rewards on July 19, 2019. By purchasing the 12-month plan of Nintendo Switch Online, members received two new exclusive pieces upon purchase. The release of the 4th Splatoon Kushien Fan Book also gave out limited codes for in-game gear to those who purchased it.
