Nintendo has outlined its plans for the E3 2019 video game trade show, which takes place 11th – 13th June at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The weekend before the show includes two competitions featuring top players of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Splatoon 2 from around the world. Returning activities during the week include a Nintendo Direct presentation in the evening of Tuesday 11th June, and Nintendo Treehouse: Live, a daily live stream from E3 featuring live gameplay and in-depth analysis of games featured at E3. Nintendo will feature many playable Nintendo Switch games at its booth.

Some of Nintendo’s activities at E3 2019 include:

• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Splatoon 2 Tournaments
• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Smash Ball Team Cup grand final
• Splatoon 2 Finals

More importantly from our point of view, there will also be a Nintendo Direct at E3 2019. The presentation will begin at 07:00 UK on 11th June. The presentation, which focuses entirely on Nintendo software, will offer a look at games scheduled to launch in 2019.

Nintendo Treehouse: Live will also return. This live stream hosted by Nintendo of America’s Treehouse staff right from Nintendo’s E3 booth returns to give viewers a deeper look into select games.
