Nintendo Presses Start on First In-Person Event in 3 Years

Nintendo Live

 

With conventions and expos coming back in full force, Nintendo seems to not want to be left behind, with the Japanese arm of the video game company announcing the return of Nintendo Live today – an event where people can play the newest games and participate in officially run tournaments, including the first Splatoon 3 tourney after the game releases in September.

 

 

 

 

This marks the first Nintendo Live since 2019, when the company hosted the last event in its hometown of Kyoto. This time around, Nintendo is taking over Tokyo Big Sight, the biggest event space in the country and the home to Comiket.

 

Joining Splatoon 3, tournaments for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (which were MC’d by director Masahiro Sakurai in the past!) and Nintendo Switch Sports will be held as well as live stages for Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Splatoon 3. Previously live stages included concerts from in-universe groups, so we may see Off the Hook or KK Slider perform live!
