Splatoon 3 Bento Box Collaboration Launches April 2024 with JR Kyushu in Japan

Nintendo has announced a fresh culinary collaboration for fans visiting Japan: a limited-edition Splatoon 3 bento box, developed in partnership with Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu).

Launching from April 1, 2024, this exclusive lunch box is set to be available at several train stations and specifically at two retail stores within Hakata Station in Fukuoka. Splatoon 3, Nintendo’s best-selling team-based shooter for the Nintendo Switch, continues to engage audiences with its vibrant style and inventive promotional efforts.

This latest partnership not only showcases the game’s cultural appeal in Japan but also coincides with the recent release of Splatoon 3's Side Order DLC, which has been well received by players and critics alike. For an affordable price of 1,750 yen (approximately $11.55 USD), commuters and fans can enjoy a bento containing a curated selection of Japanese delicacies: crispy fried squid rings, Yamaya dry mentaiko (seasoned cod roe), and decorative nori seaweed printed with exclusive Splatoon 3 artwork.

As a special bonus, each bento purchase comes with a limited-edition Splatoon 3 sticker, further commemorating the collaboration campaign between Nintendo and JR Kyushu. JR Kyushu confirmed the bento boxes will be on sale at convenient locations frequented by both locals and tourists, making it a must-try experience for visitors passing through Fukuoka.

While the official campaign duration has not been disclosed, the product is likely to be available while supplies last.

This innovative partnership follows close on the heels of the successful launch of the Side Order DLC for Splatoon 3, which has added fresh content and replay value to the popular Nintendo Switch title.

Nintendo’s ongoing support for the franchise and creative cross-promotions like this bento box collaboration reflect the enduring popularity and commercial strength of Splatoon 3 since its original release on September 9, 2022. Fans and travelers heading to Japan are encouraged to sample the unique Splatoon 3 bento box as part of this limited-time offering.
