Here’s a quote from Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Doug Bowser:

“We love working with unexpected partners to expand our brand and bring smiles to people’s faces in surprising ways. Teaming up with Nickelodeon and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made perfect sense, as we share many of the same fans who enjoy family-friendly entertainment and classic characters.”

Splatoon 2 is available on the Nintendo Switch.
