If there is one country where you can find happiness in terms of goodies and other fan trinkets, it is Japan. Recently, Nintendo announced the arrival of a service that may delight Splatoon players… provided they are Japanese.

When we talk regarding the best multiplayer shooting games in the West, we often come across at least three different schools. The oldest will tell you regarding the duel between Call of Duty and Battlefield which punctuated the years 2000 and 2010, while the youngest will certainly mention the Battle Royale like Fortnite, Apex Legends or PUBG which turned all that upside down. The most competitive players, for their part, are likely to cite esports references like Counter Strike or Valorant. Yet, There is another multiplayer shooter that has a larger audience than one might suspect.
Since the release of its first game, the saga Splatoon continues to prove that it brings together a large number of loyal players. Exclusive to Nintendo consoles (first on Wii U then on Nintendo Switch), This series, which might quickly be relegated to the status of a children’s game, actually hides many more players than it seems, thanks in particular to its dynamic and demanding gameplay, in addition to its original design. While Splatoon players await the arrival of the “Tower of Order” expansion which should be available in spring 2024, Nintendo has just revealed a gift that may make people jealous.
A gift inaccessible in France?
If you play Splatoon, you probably know what a Splashtag. For others, it is simply the “identity card” of each player which can be personalized as desired with different titles, funds and other badges. The latter is then displayed on your opponents’ screen each time you eliminate them, a way of leaving your signature on each of your performances. To please Splatoon fans, Nintendo has just announced that it will soon be possible to transform its Splashtag into a real key ring that you can take everywhere with you.
Available on the Japanese My Nintendo Store, this service should cost around $16 and will be available in mid-December. Until then, Splatoon players can already participate in a lottery to be one of the first lucky people who will be able to purchase a keychain representing their own personalized Splashtag. Unfortunately, no information has yet been shared by Nintendo regarding the possible availability of this service outside of Japan. You will have understood, if you want to transform your Splashtag into an authentic key ring, for the moment you will have no other choice than to go through a third-party delivery service (which risks increasing the price of the key ring). key…).
Although it would be entirely possible that such a service would finally be available in France one day, we remain pessimistic on this subject. Indeed, if the Splatoon license sells well in France, it does not generate the same enthusiasm as in Japan, which is not likely to convince Nintendo easily. If you’re not afraid to use your hands, you’ll probably be quicker to learn how to make your own keychain…
