In the early hours of this morning, Nintendo released a long-awaited free update for their popular Wii U shooter Splatoon, adding in highly requested online features, new weapon types, gear and more. The Japanese Famitsu magazine revealed earlier this week that this update will include articles of inkling clothing from a previously announced collaboration with Masahiro Anbe's Squid Girl (Ika Musume) manga series, although international fans were left out of water in regards to whether they'd be able to wrap their tentacles around this inkredible promotion.
Although Nintendo of America confirmed last night that the hat, shirt and shoes from The Squid Girl brand will be available in that region, European owners of the game had to wait until this morning to discover that the three items have been added to the daily rotation of purchasable gear in Booyah Base. Each of the items have a two star rarity and cost between 1600-2000 coins.
Splatoon is available exclusively on the Nintendo Wii U. Manga Entertainment released the first season of The Squid Girl on DVD in the United Kingdom.
