Splatoon 2 is so much fun and for major fans there is a Splatoon 2 themed Nintendo Switch bundle coming to Walmart stores on September 8th. The bundle will include special items like Neon Pink and Neon Green Joycons. It also comes with a download code for Splatoon 2 and a carrying case. It is rather tempting to go and pick up a second switch so we can play together in the house. Andrew would whoop me big time, he’s great at the game.
