Hori Splatoon Wii U Gamepad Protector released in U.S.

The Splatoon Wii U Gamepad Protector has been released in the U.S. region. If you are interested, you can preorder the protective cover from Amazon with this link.

For the uninitiated, the Hori Splatoon Wii U Gamepad Protector is designed to protect the front and back side of the main controller of Nintendo’s current-gen console. The officially-licensed product should prevent against dirt, scratches in addition to other wear and tear. With that said, gamers should have access to all the buttons, ports and other basic functions (such as being able to recharge the controller via the Wii U Charging Cradle).

The Splatoon version of the accessory features artwork from the newly-available game. Along with the flashy ink colors, the front cover also has the iconic squid character along with logos for the videogame and system.

Splatoon has been selling very well since being released earlier this year on the 29th of May. In fact, it recently passed 1 million copies worldwide sold. The main feature of the new intellectual property is the eight-player multiplayer mode where opposing teams have to compete against each other in order to cover the most ground with their ink color before time runs out.
