While they passed on attending E3, Nintendo will still be holding a major in-person gathering later this year. Focusing more on the fan experience, Nintendo has revealed the event as Nintendo Live, which will be taking place in Seattle, Washington this September. Previously, Nintendo Live events have taken place only in Japan, with this announcement marking the first time one will be taking place in the west. There will be gaming tournaments, stage performances, game booths, and more, with previous years having offered an Animal Crossing and Splatoon crossover concert and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe competitions with prizes.

“Fans of all ages can currently experience the unique games, characters and worlds of Nintendo on Nintendo Switch, but we want to expand that scope with a new experience,” said Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser. “With Nintendo Live 2023, we’re giving attendees a chance to celebrate together with family, friends and the broader Nintendo community in the spirit of fun and creating long-lasting memories.”

E3 is more and more dead with every batch of news we get.

I haven't heard of Nintendo Live either, but that's expected, seeing as it was only hosted in Japan.

Are you going @Chary ?

It's a little harder to justify going cross-country for a fan expo, but I'm going to be in Portland around that same time, I think, so it could work out!

I love me some cult gatherings


Jokes aside, this is really just a trap to lure the guy that leaked BotW 2's artbook and capture them there

Can’t wait for them to get a C&D from Nintendo

 

[Noctosphere]

Their new event? As in for replacing their participation to E3?

 

[MikaDubbz]

They should call it Spaceworld, that might help a lot of the people still hung up over the essential death of E3, feel like their important gaming events haven't all disappeared.

 

[Nincompoopdo]

I think Nintendo will be announcing their new console at this event.

 

[stanleyopar2000]

I would love this if it had happened in the Wii era.

I dislike modern Nintendo.

Are they going to publicly hang that guy from the neighboring news live on the air?
The one who leaked some artbook on Discord. Well, you know, that one.

 

[Rari]

Does anyone know/think this is gonna replace the directs?

I doubt it, they might alternate between the two events, but the directs were always felt more useful to me imo
