With Splatoon 2's final Splatfest now well and truly over, there's an eerie yet almost nostalgic feel to the Inkopolis air. If you happen to live in the US, you can now treat yourself to a last-minute in-game gift for old times' sake.
The gift in question is a Gear Set, seen in the image above. It comes with the four pieces of clothing pictured:
• Gray FA-11 Bomber
• Brown FA-11 Bomber
• Red V-Neck Limited Tee
• Green V-Neck Limited Tee
If you want to pick them up, make sure to head on over to your My Nintendo account. There, you'll need to hand over just 100 of your Platinum Points (which can easily be obtained by simply visiting the site regularly - no real money required). The set was also available in Europe but only for those who spent £24.99 on a real-life Final Fest t-shirt, which are now unavailable to purchase anyway.
Full details on how to redeem the Gear Set can be found at the link provided above.
Will you be sticking around in Splatoon 2 for months to come? Did you take part in the Final Fest? Tell us below.

Furious. I had to pay £25 for that t-shirt so my niece could have the gear. The t-shirt will be terrible as well.
Got mine today, and I can't wait for the splatfest tee replica, but that's stupid that they're locking it behind a product that had low stock in the first place in Europe.
I hope this means we will get similar in game items from my Nintendo in the future. On another site, someone recommended mii costumes for smash, which would be great!
Finally. SOMETHING to spent my platinum points on.

Thanks for nothing here in Europe, Nintendo. Shirts that were extremely limited quantity and required credit card to purchase on top of going online at a time where most people likely had to be at work or school AND on top of that you made these pieces of in-game gear exclusive to those who WERE lucky enough to purchase these shirts.
I'd use my points on these in a heartbeat but OH WELL guess none of us who didn't get to buy the shirts are worth it.
.....I really can't stand the way these things are handled sometimes.
Finally, something people actually care about
#GEARFORALL It's about time!
Funny how it's placed under "Nintendo 3DS/Wii U software/digital content." Anyway, at least it's a step up from what My Nintendo has been offering in the US. Still no physical rewards though
thank you for posting - got it!!!
I saw the phrase "Game Gear" in the headline so I came here. Kind of disappointed.
To be honest the gear doesn't look that great anyway, they've offered nicer things for free during Splatfests...
Hopefully this means we'll see a slow trickle of other previously exclusive content like those from Coro Coro, or unlocked by an amiibo.
I've got enough unused platinum coins for a whole new Inkopolis wardrobe twice over
I like the bombers; not so much the shirts. I wonder why they weren't offered in the US with the real-life shirts before. Is it a marketing department decision or what?
You know... that’s really crappy. I live in the US but that’s ridiculous to offer this for a measly 100 platinum points to us but lock it behind a T-shirt purchase in Europe. Shame.
How long until Splatoon 3 is announced? 2020?
I live in the US but I'm appalled on behalf of the European players. They should be able to buy it with platinum points the same as us. I can't stand how MyNintendo has the same problems as Club Nintendo: region-specific stuff, especially digital content that should have no problems being offered to all.
I got the tees anyway, the unlockable game gear was never a factor in that purchase.
But wow, this is horrible. Like, the uproar if this were a company like EA would be massive. I hope Nintendo of Europe realizes that this kind of behaviour will not be appreciated by fans.
Especially when it's so easy to compare regions these days. There's no reason for this inequality. No reason at all.
I am happy to get this.
I do wish that everyone could get all gear world-wide. We are all fans of the game. Gear for all.
@Yosher I get that you are disappointed because you couldn't buy the shirt, and that a credit card was needed sucks if you don't have that. But I don't get the comment about them being live at a time were most people have to work or go to school... I ordered mine only on Sunday. And some wrote they bought theirs on Thursday already. That's plenty of time imo.
What bugs me much more is that I missed the poster. Those are much more interesting to me than gear I'll never use. The poster page is still up, and I still hope for the chance to grab one.
Thinking about it - anyone wanna swap?
I have the unused gear code from the shirt, looking for a poster code. Write your mail address and I'll get in touch!
Yes, I'll stick around and play Splatoon 2 between my other games. And yes, I participated in the FinalFest for Team Chaos.
I hope this means My Nintendo will do more of this for switch games in the future!
@lifer The shirts, or at least the Chaos one, was already sold out by the time I got home from work after it went up....
@Yosher It's a pity you couldn't get one. I'm pretty sure that all shirts were available when I ordered mine, a Chaos M. Can't wait to wear it to work.
Okay, now I'm kind of pissed off.
I take it in this case US means "North America", half the time it doesn't.
This is the 1st time I have actually used my Platinum coins in FOREVER
Finally, something that’s actually useful to use coins.
