Tower Records is promoting Splatoon in a big way. Starting on June 24 and ending on July 24, a special Splatoon-themed sale will be running.

Tower Records is planning on offering items like T-shirts, apparel such as mugs, stickers, and pins, confectionery, and more. Limited edition items including a backpack and water bottle will also be up for grabs through scratch cards distributed in store. If that wasn’t enough, the Splatune soundtrack will be sold as well, and free Squid Sisters-inspired stickers will be available on a limited basis.

Making the whole thing even neater is that the collaboration T-shirts will be added to Splatoon. We don’t know when exactly, but we’ll let you know when we hear more.

Nintendo has published a new Children’s Product Certificate, but no one seems to know what it is at present. The company generally has these items up for amiibo.

Amiibo News speculates that the certificate is for a new Smash Bros. figure. That’s because the product number is chronologically behind the new Splatoon amiibo. We should find out what this is soon enough.

Discounts will be available on some of Nintendo’s “most popular games as a special treat for fans.” My Nintendo members will receive “a special bonus if they buy select games included in the sale.”
