The Splatoon craze is spreading like wildfire in all sorts of forms, as this Twitter user found at Eaton Shopping Centre in Toronto. In the middle of their centre is a wonderful, huge fountain that’s been revamped in honour of Splatoon. An Inkling and a Squid sit on the fountain and the water– I mean, the ink!– has been dyed green. This is just another example of the intense, creative advertising that has gone into this game, let’s hope it lives up to expectations tomorrow!
Thanks, whiteagle546
I wonder why Nintendo doesn’t advertise like this more often.
first though i had:P and why they didn’t do that to wii u..
this can’t be happening…
What’s up?

I feel so great to see this in person yesterday! I live in Toronto! We are the North!
Lol. Splatoon is everywhere now.
Splatoons, Splatoons everywhere!!!
You do know that Nintendo has paid them to do this…..right?
Yep and it’s awesome. I hope they do something similar everywhere.
Well duh, you think they are going to advertise somebody else’s product for free?
“The Splatoon craze is spreading like wildfire…”
That quote suggests the blogger thinks otherwise. Not much intelligence ’round here.
Nintendo are really putting all of their eggs for the next couple of months in Splatoon, aren’t they???
They’re marketing the crap out of this game. Yesterday it was Splatoon yogurt, today a fountain get a Splatoon makeover.
Splatoon facepaint event Tomorrow???
It’s awesome that the Inklings are getting such a public relations blitz as they make their debut– Smash and Mario Kart DLC can’t be far behind!
I only kind of wish that there was a specific CHARACTER that they could be featuring in this, not just the race of Inklings themselves. But, eh, in a world with Yoshies and Toads and Villagers, it’s not like there’s no precedent for blurring the line between individual and race.
They’ve been plastering that “red head” and blue “haired” boy on a majority of the marketibg, so I guess they’re the mascots
Ugh I meant “red head” girl…
If they did this for Smash Bros. I would be happy.
I wonder how much it costs to do advertising like this.
Nintendo sure does have interesting ways of advertising!
Would still love them to do TV ads properly. It’s rare to see any ads if you don’t go on kids channels whereas I see ps/xboxone/pc/mobile game ads multiple times a week.
“They also dyed the water green”
That looks orange to me.
Same here. Must have been a typo.
I don’t have internet at home so 75%+ of this game is unusable…
Nintendo should only charge $30 for a multiplayer game.
Soon as Battlefield, Titanfall, Destiny and CoD do so, you may have the right to complain.
Oh and Evolve too.
Does anyone know why it’s cheaper in Europe apparently?
Europe is pretty much anti-Nintendo, from a sales perspective. With a new IP like this, they probably knew no one would bother at full price. Europe is always being pampered in ways like that, because they keep trying to give them reasons to buy their stuff.
Come the next yearly release of Fifa though, Europe will go nuts! They sure do love their EA rehashes.
Because it won’t sell well in Europe. Hell, there are more Wii U’s in Japan than in all of Europe combined. That’s just sad really. Europe hates the Wii U.
So that’s why it’s cheaper there. To encourage new buyers..
they forgot to advertise Splatoon on passaic mainstreet NJ
Nintendo has also been advertising Splatoon in some Metro stations.
