If there's one thing we enjoy at Nintendo Life, it's games. That shouldn't be all that surprising, but what this video maker likes to do almost as much is parody the dickens out of primarily UK-centric media. So I did just that.
Nintendo UK were kind enough to send over a care package of delightful Splatoon 2 accessories, and so rather than just talk about them or show them on camera, I decided to get creative, and you can see the results in the video above.

Nintendo life is on a roll today. Slow down! Not easy being the first post so much.
The neon Joy-Cons certainly do look nice. As does the Splatoon Pro controller.
Nintendo, send me some Switch accessories and I'll make a 2 minute Youtube video as well.
That is damn funny, is it wrong i now want all of that more?
This is not just a video. It's a video of the one and only Alex (who is not JUST Alex) showing us the majesty of Switch accessories that are not just Switch accessories.
True beauty. Well done Alex.
This is not just a comment. This is a congratulatory message regarding the successful execution of Alex's satirical approach to the Splatoon 2 range of accessories.
Still half wish they'd bring the pink/green joy-cons to the US...though I'm also torn about buying more joy-cons since I'd then need a charging grip or stand to keep them charged in addition to the ones on my Switch...which is why so far I've just bought two Pro controllers to round out my Switch (one black, and one Splatoon 2 pink/green)
I'd love me some green Joy-Cons, but there's no way I'm going to pay an overseas scalper for the Splatoon set.
Right on the Mark, Alex
I really hope Nintendo brings these over to the the U.S, better yet I'll just buy a Left and Right Green I really like how they look but if I they just release green and pink only, I'll wait until they release them separate on opposite sides.
This is not just any comment. This is the most splat-tastic of all comments, marinated for two weeks in the freshest ink and topped with the finest Power Eggs, still warm from the latest Salmon Run.
On a side note, my son is having a Splatoon themed birthday next month and will get some of these accessories for his Birthday.
I've combined a Pink and Yellow Joy Con set, to go with my eighties socks
Can someone tell a non-Brit if Alex is parodying something specific?
@countzero Alex is parodying the UK adverts for M&S. They would present a food saying, "This is not just a tomato" for example, and then describe how special that tomato was. Saying something like "This is a moon ripened tomato, grown in the mountains of Southern Narnia and watered by the joyful tears of a virgin fairy".
I picked up Splatoon Joy-Cons and a Pro Controller. Love the little details like ink splatters and in-game logos on the Pro Controller. The Joy-Cons are a tad basic, though.
@countzero
Marks and Spencer, a retailer, used to do a range of adverts with the "This is not just X, this is (whatever)" theming (See, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTI_DowGk3w for an example)
@Kienda @Bisylizzie
Thanks!
@Kienda
Bwa ha ha, perfect! Waitrose do the same thing. Their potatoes are from outer Patagonia, grown by reclusive elder monks, who cultivate each individual potato for sixty years, and water them with blessed water from a sacred spring which is 300 miles below the ground.
These joycons are my pride and joy, so glad I imported a pair.
@thesilverbrick Amazon UK has all the accessories in stock. So the only benefit of waiting for a us release is better shipping.
Did I just watch British porn?
Nice, cool, Crazy
I'm not sure whether I enjoyed the "fictional language" or the "fictional brand logos" reference better. Either way, very funny!
Imported those joycon. I love em. Went with blue for Zelda, red for Mario Kart, yellow for Arms, and the Splatcons for Splatoon 2.
Gotta keep it thematic.
Would love to buy both the procon and the joycons. But disappointingly, they havn't shown up in Australia yet. Does anyone know if they are set to hit our region? I personally love those colours together.
@OneArmedGiant
I live in Perth and imported from Japan. They arrived yesterday!
@Rexx
Good price or was it expensive?
@OneArmedGiant slightly pricier than here because of the postage
This video was the definition of perfection, well done good Sir, well done.
@Rexx
Found the procon in EB yesterday. $110. Might wait to see if target or someone get it in at some point.
@OneArmedGiant oh I meant I got the JoyCon. I have a feeling the ProCon is an EB exclusive but I think they'll be relatively easy to find.
@Rexx
I'm after both. Procon seems to be exclusive to EB and I don't buy though them anymore because I have court them out lying to people to make sales many times now. Will have to import the JoyCons because they are just to sexy not to have.
