Other services from Microsoft and Sony offer 14-day free trials for their respective services, making Nintendo’s offering seem like an even better inclusion to the bundle. A typical month of service is slated to go for $4. Even so, it’s great to see Nintendo thinking ahead, and while just a few months may not seem like that lengthy of a trial, it should go a long way in easing the rollout of its paid subscription. You won’t be able to redeem the 90 days of service until sometime in September when it officially launches. As we covered earlier this year, the paid subscription will include access to play titles like Splatoon 2 online, free retro games and other discounts.
Just like the first time around, the inkling-themed package will include the game, the Switch in its neon colorway and some other goodies. There are a few notable changes though for the bundle’s return, one being that you’ll actually receive the physical cartridge for Splatoon 2, rather than a digital download code.īut more notably, the bundle will come packed with a three-month free trial of the upcoming Nintendo Switch Online service. And while the inflated price may be worth it for some Splatoon 2 players, Nintendo will soon be reintroducing the bundle. Having only been on the market for a limited time, the Splatoon 2 Switch bundle soon became a collector’s item for many fans of the game, now selling for over a $100 premium on Amazon. Alongside the popular sequel also came the latest of Nintendo’s alternative colorways for the Switch, which appropriately sported neon green and pink Joy-Cons in place of the typical blue and red ones. The paint-based shooter, Splatoon 2, launched back in the summer of 2017, receiving some pretty high praise.
5 at E3 2018, Nintendo has continued to supply fans with news as we head into summer.
