Nintendo has a few things planned for NicoNico Chokaigi, which takes place in Japan next month.

First up is the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 2-on-2 World Grand Prix. This has a few folks from Japan taking on players in the U.S. We know that players from the North American side are comprised of a select few who took part in APEX 2015, including Jason “Mew2King” Zimmerman, Gonzalo “ZeRo” Barrios, Freddie “FOW” Williams, and Averil “MJG” Morrisette II”.

The first portion of the Smash Bros. competition is singles and will take place on April 25 between 12 AM ET and 2 AM ET (April 24 for fans on the West Coast, 9 PM PT and 11 PM PT). The second part is team-based and will be held on April 26 between 12 AM ET and 1 AM ET (April 24 for fans on the West Coast, 9 PM PT and 11 PM PT). Winners will receive a pair of New 3DS units with an original face plate.

Aside from the heavy presence of Smash Bros., Nintendo will also be on hand for Splatoon demos. Other Nintendo-centric events include a Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire competition, plus stage shows for Dragon Quest ?, Pokken Tournament, The Great Ace Attorney, and Super Mario 30th anniversary from Center CX (featuring Mario Maker).

NicoNico Chokaigi runs on April 25 and April 26 at Makuhari Messe.
