When it's not cancelling preorders for the Nintendo Switch UK retailer GAME also likes to partake in largely pointless PR stunts, such as this latest effort which involves a "Switch Onesie" that is apparently deemed "high fashion".
Produced by in-house fashion label GAME-ON, this particular onesie is reversible, allowing you to "save valuable preparation time" in your morning routine, going from casual to "a sophisticated, work-appropriate look in seconds".
Here's what a GAME spokesperson had to say:
We are expecting thousands of gamers through our doors this week for the launch of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch and with the Switch Suit we believe we have created the perfect outfit to match, enabling Nintendo fans to be able to take their gaming straight from home to the office. We've rushed out our first collection for the launch of Nintendo Switch but hope to extend our GAME-ON range later this year, depending on demand.
The "Switch Suit" is available exclusively within the Nintendo Switch campaign on the GAME App from March 3rd - the same day the console arrives at retail. We think we already know the answer to this one, but will you be buying one of these?

Classic GAME! Fail to honour people pre orders but more than ready to cash in with a cheap gimmick
What losers. Do Game really have nothing better to be doing?
I'm surprised they're not selling "Switch Launch Day Fuel in a Can" or "Hyrulian Hob-Nobs" or something like that.
That looks so dumb lol
Oh Game... you can hire super models to pose in them but those onesies will look ridiculous anyway xD
...And I'm not sure how many will get this reference but Barney Stinson would love this, suit up!
That GAME store has more shelf space dedicated to the Switch than each of my local GAME stores do for all of their Nintendo stuff combined.
"We canceled your pre-order but here's this onesie."
Gross.
That's not exactly my definition of high fashion.
They sound worse than GameStop.
@ GAME. Stop. Please stop.
Will that really be office appropriate? I think my office might be okay with it, but that's because we're pretty lax. But even I'd say wearing this would be pushing it.
That looks manky.
Edit: I think the site had a little bit of a wobble there. That's probably GAME's fault as well.
Am I the only one who would actually like one of these haha
I do love a good Onesie
"I really want to rep GAME and buy a onesie that plays on the whole "Switch" theme but not grab the console itself! "
Srsly?
How can a company call themselves Game? That has to be some sort of a copyright infringement.
What a load of old codswallop
GAME sucks but I kind of like the onesie.
When Nintendo made GAME the only place in the UK to streetpass, it made streetpass plaza pointless to me as there is no GAME on Guernsey.
But this is just them cashing in on the name, are they going to give any away free to the cancelled order people? Yeah of course not
I was in GAME today, pre-paid for my console in full. I could see all the Switch consoles, just out of reach! The only thing they didn't have delivered was my carry case which is very annoying, but at least I will have my console and Zelda, TOMORROW NIGHT!
Do not order your shirt or else they will cancel it again. GAME OVER
Pre-ordered lol 😁
Oh, GAME.
...Yeah, no words.
I'm never shopping with them again after I buy the initial console. I couldn't care less if they crash and burn - horrible, HORRIBLE service.
They should be giving us free stuff tomorrow night!!
Oh wait they gave me £6.00 in loyalty points.
It doesn't look like a onesie to me.
Shouldn't they be more worried about actually shipping the NS to customers instead of clothes?
A...a onesie? I just don't even know what to say. I mean, what are we infants?
@Robin_Aisaka I dunno. That's the kinda guy who could look good in a potato sack.
@EllenJMiller
What's a hob nob?
@crimsontadpoles Not for anyone over the age of two anyway.
lol a terrible looking onesie. Perhaps the money they saved on their website went to buying these.
@Tempestryke It's a brand of oat biscuits.
Looks fun but no.
...Hah!
These onesies are almost........... almost as good as GAME's christmas tinner
I don't see the need for hate. Naturally it's unfortunate that they will have to cancel some preorders, but their own brand of products are a seperate thing entirely, and they're usually worth a chuckle.
Screw Game , Possibly the biggest Nintendo sellouts on the UK market , Funny you go into a game store and find one cabinet of Nintendo products surrounded by towering PS and xb software , Now they are going on like they care for Nintendo when bringing them down all these years !
@EllenJMiller
Oh. Are they good?
@DragonEleven they can fit the entire switch library of two games there.
@Tempestryke They're good, Chocolate Hobnobs are even better.
Now I want Chocolate Hyrulian Hobnobs that come in triangle shapes so you can recreate a delicious Triforce.
@EllenJMiller Mmm. That sounds pretty tasty. Victory is always delicious.
