Like retro gaming news? Join our free newsletter to receive a weekly round-up from our team of nerds.

I know what you're thinking, now you really want a tin of soup. Well, I'm glad I've instilled that feeling in you, because you're going to need to get a taste for Campbell's if you want to try and win a Nintendo Switch 2!

In the most 'souper' competition I've seen in a while, Campbell's have teamed up with Pikachu and his pals for their 'Catch a Can' competition throughout October in the United States. There are eight different cans of Campbell's soup featuring Pocket Monsters on the labels. They're all traditional chicken soup and have pasta in the shapes of Pokémon inside, and just like Ash Ketchum in the TV show, you'll need to catch 'em all to win prizes.

Check out the full collection above! You can grab tins with Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Mewtwo, Squirtle, Jigglypuff, Eevee, Charizard, and Mew. If I can get someone to send me that Mewtwo tin, I'm never opening it!

But how do you win prizes? Well, ff you catch 4 cans (or let's be honest, if you purchase 4 from the supermarket), then you can be in the running for a Pokémon bowl to eat your soup out of. You'll need to get all 8 cans if you want to be in with winning the Nintendo Switch 2, however, alongside a copy of Pokémon Legends: ZA and a 'Pewter City Special Stew' collector's can for the ultimate Pokémaniac.

To be in for a chance of winning either the bowl or the Switch bundle, just take a picture of yourself with either 4 or 8 cans and upload it to the Campbell's website. You've got until October 31st at 20:59 PT/23:59 ET to enter. Unfortunately, this competition is only for US readers, so I apologise to all of the European readers who are now sad they don't have soup or Pokémon-shaped pasta - I'm right there with you guys!
