An extra figurine for the Dual Pack, and SteelBooks for individual games
If you’ve been looking to go all in on the new Pokémon game coming up in November by buying both Sword and Shield, you’ll want to purchase the dual pack. It’s on Nintendo’s UK online store, and it comes with a fantastic golden SteelBook as a bonus to put both of your games in to take around.
Nintendo has upped the ante by offering a figurine of the three starter Pokémon: Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. These are a bonus to those looking to pre-order the dual pack. On a blue base, the limited figurine includes the Pokémon each in their Pokédex stances. While the figurines are not Amiibos, they follow previous models of past generations of Pokémon where figures of the starter Pokémon were pre-order bonuses.
Not only the figures, but Nintendo is now offering a bonus to those looking to order simply one of the games. Those who pre-order Sword receive a silver and blue SteelBook featuring Sword’s cover Pokémon Zacian embossed onto it, while players who pre-order Shield get a silver & blue SteelBook with cover Pokémon Zamazenta.
All of these pre-order bonus items come at no extra cost to the original pre-order price, which on the UK store is £49.99 for one game or £99.99 for the dual pack. It’s not clear yet whether these extra pre-order items are available in other regions.
Pokémon Sword & Shield is due to release on Nov 15, and we can’t wait to get started in the Galar region!
