Splatoon has had many collaborations in its rise as one of Nintendo’s most successful new IPs, from the Zapper and Squid Girl to Transformers and Spongebob. The newest one is with CoroCoro, which will net players specially branded gear and a roller weapon: a cap, sweater and Splat Roller equipped with the Splash Wall and Inkzooka. A tweet from the official Splatoon Twitter account gives a peek at what’s to come.

This will all be released along with volume 2 of Sheldon’s Picks during the summer. While it is unclear whether or not this will be a worldwide release, a somewhat similar collaboration involving a Famitsu costume design contest was released worldwide.
