Splatoon 2: Kyoto Aquarium collaboration, real-life Splat Dualies, 7-Eleven Gear, more

With Splatoon, various collaboration even were held in Japan, with the most famous one being the one with the Saga Prefecture. But those collaboration didn’t start right away, since Nintendo wasn’t really expecting the game’s popularity to blow up like it did. But with Splatoon 2, it’s a completely different story…

Tomorrow, a special collaboration event with the Kyoto Aquarium, called Suizokukaan: Squid Summer Vacations. It offers various activities for parents and children, that are both fun and instructive. Of course, there’s also some exclusive goodies available for purchase, such as t-shirts, food, and more.

Here’s some pictures and a video:

The Suizokukaan: Squid Summer Vacations event takes place from July 15th to August 31st in Japan.

But that’s not all: on July 28th, Sun Art is going to release a real-life version of the Spalt Dualies, the iconic new weapon from Splatoon 2. Naturally, it does not shoot actual ink, it’s “just” another pretty neat watergun!

Here’s what it looks like:
