Love it or hate it, Microsoft’s Xbox has some of the quirkiest and coolest merchandise of this generation. From tiny controller hoodies to Xbox Series X-shaped mini-fridges, the latest special edition console is no exception. In honor of the release of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, Microsoft is launching a Series X bundle featuring Spongebob Squarepants’ face printed on all four sides of the square-ish console.
The use of Spongebob’s iconic shape is a brilliant move, appealing to fans of the 25-year-old classic cartoon. The nostalgia factor is key, especially for millennials like myself, who are the target audience for the Smash Bros-style Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl game.
The controller is another highlight, with a unique layout featuring all the beloved Spongebob characters. From Squidward to Gary the Snail, each character is intricately placed on the faceplate. It’s a work of art that fans will surely appreciate.
To get your hands on this special edition bundle, head to a US Best Buy store on March 7th at 8 AM. The price tag? A whopping $699.99 for the console, controller, and game. While it may seem steep for a console that often goes on sale, the appeal of owning a game console adorned with a cartoon sea sponge is priceless.
Prepare to shell out $699.99 if you want to snag this special edition bundle at Best Buy. Good luck!
