Nintendo Takes Over Santa Monica Pier With Obstacle Course Inspired By Splatoon
With Splatoon arriving in a couple of weeks, Nintendo took over Santa Monica Pier with a real-life obstacle course inspired by the game. Donning helmets and special Splatoon t-shirts, celebrities and kids were able to attack the obstacle course and emerge covered in ink.
Among those in attendance were actor James Marsden, singer/model Alli Simpson, actress Willow Shields, and more. You can check out some shots of the obstacle course being put to use below.
In addition to the obstacle course, those in attendance were also able to get their hands on Splatoon. The ink-fest that is Splatoon launches on Wii U on May 29.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
