Posted on May 19, 2019 by (@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News

Nintendo’s E3 2019 activities essentially start on June 8. Three separate tournaments will be held on that day – one for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, another for Splatoon 2, and a final one for Super Mario Maker 2.

The great thing about these tournaments is that Nintendo is allowing fans to stop by and catch all of the action in-person. Of course, those who can’t attend will be able to watch the events online as well.

Here’s some additional information for those who plan on attending the tournaments, along with an FAQ:
