Virtual hats and video games go together like ginger ale and vanilla ice cream, but Nintendo always has to be a little bit different. As such, pre-ordering a copy of Splatoon (opens in new tab) from GAME will get you an exclusive Inkling Beanie – for your real-life, actual head.

The design looks like it’s modeled after the Inkling girl’s luxurious sidelocks/tentacles, and it sports a prominent Splatoon logo right across the forehead. I would’ve stuck the logo on the back and put a pair of angry squid eyes (opens in new tab) front-and-center (so it looks like an Inkling in squid form is eating your noggin), but I’m not in charge of these things.

Splatoon is set to release on May 29 in North America and Europe. No pre-order beanie deals have been announced for North American retailers, but at least everyone can see more of the game next week: a Splatoon Nintendo Direct will broadcast on May 7 at 7 am PDT / 3 pm BST.
