Nintendo is staging a community event showcasing a bunch of titles this weekend—including a first look at Smash Bros Ultimate.
The event will be held at the Royal Horticultural Halls in London and will offer a mix of competitive events and casual tournaments for those looking to enjoy themselves and relax.
Saturday will see the beginning of the first qualifier for the Splatoon 2 UK Championship 2018. The winning team this Saturday will gain entry to the grand final this November, where the best squad will be crowned UK champion. The winners of that tournament will represent the U.K. at the annual Splatoon 2 European Championships in Spring 2019.
Splatoon 2 isn’t the only game that will be on hand at the event, however. On Sunday, Nintendo will be offering fans a hands-on with the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the latest entry in the Smash Bros. series for Nintendo Switch.
This will also be Smash Bros. Ultimate’s debut in the U.K., and Nintendo will be showing it off with an invitational tournament on Sunday evening. The players taking part are all likely to be from the U.K., however, so don’t expect to see Smash Bros. legends like TSM’s Gonzalo “ZeRo” Barrios take to the stage.
As well as these headline events, multiplayer favourites like Mario Tennis Aces, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Killer Queen Black, Fortnite, DRAGON BALL FighterZ, Rocket League, Overcooked 2, Paladins, EA SPORTS FIFA 19 and Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate will be available to play alongside other upcoming titles all weekend.
Tickets for the event are already sold out, so those unable to attend will have to watch the tournaments on Nintendo UK’s Twitch channel.
