Earlier this year, we shared the news that clothing retailer Uniqlo was set to launch new Mario and Splatoon series t-shirts this April in Japan. Well, the great news is that these collections are also being released in the west along with some other game franchises which may just tickle your fancy.
The designs are all set to be released as part of Uniqlo's upcoming spring/summer season; most franchises feature just adult designs, but the Mario collection has a children's line and shirts designed for both men and women individually. Joining Mario and Splatoon are the likes of Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, and Mobile Suit Gundam; we've got a few teaser images of just some of the shirts for you below.
Mario (Kids)
Splatoon (Adults)
Monster Hunter (Adults)
Street Fighter (Adults)
As you can see, kids prices are set at $9.90, with adult prices universally set at $14.90. The various collections are launching throughout March, April, and May - make sure to visit the site to have a look at all of the designs (you'll need to click on the 'Game/Manga/Anime' section).
Do any of the designs take your fancy? Will you be popping back to pick one up when they launch? Tell us below.

I wish the Toad shirt comes in adult size. I would've wear it while flipping 4 birds.
Why is it that most of these officially licensed branded shirts only have somewhat okay designs, compared to the stuff you see from the likes of Fangamer or The Yetee?
They're just a reflection of the general branding or in-game visuals with little imagination. I want to see original designs based on these properties!
Ha, a bit more affordable than the Bricktown gear!
Agree with @TF-Warrior, why isnt the Mario ones adult sizes too? Not fair
Meh.. that is all.
That Toad one is so bad that I love it
Only Street fighter appears in the UK store
I want that Ryu and inkling one! Too bad I can't get the toad though. It's likely out of my size.
Yeah, I might need a Monster Hunter tee.
Oh COME ON, why are the best designs (or at least, the ones that I'm interested in) always in kids sizes only??? I totally want that green Yoshi shirt GRRRRR...
@RupeeClock The first round of Uniqlo tshirts had some really good designs. I think they were fan submissions though. Yeah since then it hasn't been near as inspired
Check site - WEAR YOUR WORLD! - check shipping - We only ship to US. ... You know, just... ahh fugeddabouit ...
That IS great news. I just wish the designs weren't as plain.
I just want real clothes based on those from the Splatoon in-game shops.
Not listed in the UK
I will stick with thinkgeek lol they think of those wario sized 😂
I'd like to go pick one of these up, but Japanese size clothing rarely fits me. lol
I'm not hugely overweight or anything, but I certainly don't meet Japanese standards.
@RupeeClock It's more about iconic logos and what not, for more brand awareness. I mean original designs are cool and all, but when others see your shirt when you walk around they could only see for just a few seconds. Not enough time to even tell it's a t-shirt from which game/brand. So by keeping it simple, others can tell where it's from. This is my take on the simple design, as a designer.
They actually have some designs too. Depends really. I'm just glad not all of them are that nice, because i'd have to buy everything lol
I want the Rathalos one and I've never even played Monster Hunter.
UniQlo always has designs that are just short of being interesting to me. Not bad, but never quite inspiring enough, or the good ones are for something I don't care much about(In this case that nice Yoshi shirt). Oh well.
