Two new Nintendo concerts will air online next month, the company announced today. Fans will be able to watch performances for The Legend of Zelda and Splatoon 3 Deep Cut on February 9 and February 10 respectively.
Both were originally planned for Nintendo Live 2024 in Japan. However, the Tokyo event was cancelled last month due to threats. Along with Nintendo Live, the plug was also pulled on the Splatoon Koshien 2023 finals, Splatoon 3 World Championship 2024, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Online Challenge Finals, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe World Championships 2024.

As for the Zelda Orchestra and Splatoon 3 Deep Cut concerts, they will be posted on Nintendo’s YouTube channel. We don’t have an exact time yet for Splatoon, but both should be showing up here.
