Nintendo at E3
Presentation
Nintendo's presentation, titled Nintendo Direct: E3 2018, will air on June 12 at 9am PT (12pm ET), with Nintendo Treehouse Live at E3 immediately following the presentation. So far, they have confirmed the upcoming Super Smash Bros. game for Nintendo Switch, as well as other games for the presentation.
Tournaments
Nintendo has announced that they will be holding two tournaments this year. These will be held from June 11-12.
The Splatoon 2 World Championship will be held on both days, with the semifinals being held on June 11 from 3:30-6:00pm PT (6:30-9:00pm ET), and the finals being held on June 12 at 1pm PT (4pm ET). It will include the 4 top teams that qualified in one of 4 regions; United States and Canada (SetToDestroyX), Europe (Gucci Gang), Japan (GG BoyZ), and Australia (Yeah Nay). This will be the first world tournament for the game since the game's launch.
The Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018 will be held on June 12, immediately following the Splatoon 2 World Championship finals. It will likely be in the same vein as the Super Smash Bros. Invitational from E3 2014. The eight competitors for the tournament were announced on May 9.[1]
