In the interview, Lavoué touched on many different topics. This includes Switch and third-parties (more games are coming), mobile, and the staying power of amiibo.

We’ve posted the fully translated interview below. Just keep in mind the context of when it was conducted – specifically for questions such as a NES Classic Edition followup.

Today, Nintendo has detailed its plans for Insomnia61, the biggest gaming festival in the UK. Taking place 25th–28th August 2017 at the NEC in Birmingham, the biggest draw for fans will likely be Super Mario Odyssey, which will be playable at Nintendo’s booth. Attendees can also try out other Switch games, such as Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle and Pokken Tournament DX.

In addition to that, Nintendo is also putting a big emphasis on competitive gaming. Nintendo is hosting a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournament on Friday, August 25th, and a Splatoon 2 tournament on Saturday, August 26th. If you want to take part in them, you can sign up for them right there on the show floor. Finally, Nintendo is hosting the Nintendo Players UK ARMS Invitational on Sunday, August 27th. This one isn’t open to everyone, but instead will feature 16 of the UK’s best ARMS players.
