Splatoon 2 gets new demo, free 7-day Online trial, and discount in new promotion

Nintendo has decided to give Splatoon 2 another big push and is doing so with some great promotion.

First off, if you haven’t played the game and always wanted to try it out there is a new demo available on the eShop. The demo (which isn’t active right now) will run until March 25th and then won’t be playable anymore.

To further entice you to try the demo, Nintendo is giving away a 7-day free trial of Nintendo Switch Online. You’ll need the to code to play the demo, and hey you’ll get another 7 days to try out anything else.

Lastly the game is a huge 33% off on the eShop once you play the demo. That brings the game down to around $47AUD. Some of the progress from the demo will transfer accross to the main game should you decide to pick it up.

Seems like Nintendo is keen to get some fresh squids into the game.

Upon downloading the demo, players can participate in the online event from 1:00am AEDT / 3:00am NZDT on Wednesday, 20^th March until 12:59am AEDT / 2:59am NZDT Tuesday 26^th March and will also receive an email with a Nintendo eShop code to activate a seven-day free trial for Nintendo Switch Online.
