The guns in Splatoon take a lot of inspiration from real-world water pistols, so it's perhaps a little surprising that Nintendo hasn't taken more advantage of this fact - an entire range of themed water shooters should have been available at launch; it would have been a licence to print money.
Thankfully, the company seems to have caught onto this and is releasing a Splattershot water-shooting replica fashioned from ABS resin. Pre-orders will be opening on Play-Asia "soon".
Expected to arrive on July 18th, the gun is apparently 1/1 scale (W 47cm × D 12.5cm × H 28cm) and will only be available in limited quantities. Better get your cash ready for that pre-order.

If I can order it on Amazon (not JP) then I want two!
Yes... Yes I do.
Come back to me when there's a Splattershot Jr. replica.
I am certain that this is just the pre-order bonus for Splatoon when you bought from Target. I know it was active at least in the USA. I would have considered getting it from Target but they alway sscrew up the pre-order bonus. Target instead of giving these with games, sold these for $5 each.
And if these are the same quality as the Splatoon release ones, they are not even worth a buck unless you want it for the novelty. It was extremely poor quality and I doubt that it would last even an hour.
My son would LOVE this
Play Asia??? Why not put this on something everyone uses, like Amazon perhaps? Must be better for Japanese customers or something.
Can I have one of those E-liter 3K rifles instead?
@LordGeovanni This is different to that one so I think the quality will be better, if nothing else it is much bigger
Aye! The ole' Super Soaker 50.
No.
@LordGeovanni
Yeah, I'm certain your are wrong about it being the Target promotional gun. That thing was dinky and simple. I had one. The article says it will be a 1-1 replica, which means it will be bigger and the other one looked nothing like the game gun.
Sounds cool, though I'd prefer to have the Hero Shot Replica.
Nope.
I wanna walk into a summertime water gun brawl sporting a heavy splatling!! Let's release the full arsenal please =)
That's cool, but what I really want is some hats and t-shirts from the game. Talk about a license to print money . . . .
After looking at the Splattershot on Play-Aisa, I scrolled down and noticed a Judd plush... MUST HAVE! XD
Maybe someday they'll make a Slosher too... who knows, it might actually be useful as a bucket.
Really want this and a pikmin plush.
I should get this and then make a Tentatek sticker to put on it.
Oooo looks awesome!
SUPER SOAKER!
The problem is that we're a bit old for using that, aren't we?
Lol, now they do this? I already bought an official Splatoon merchandise watergun (which doesn't look like a Splattershot) for a video and even had to order it from the US via ebay.
If I had known this was coming, I wouldn't have wasted my money on an overpriced watergun...
