Nintendo Live 2023: Games, Performances, and More!
Nintendo Live events have previously only been held in Japan as special in-person events for Nintendo fans of all ages to come together for the quintessential Nintendo experience.
The event will be held in the United States for the first time through Nintendo Live 2023.
The event will feature Nintendo Switch gameplay, live stage performances featuring prominent Nintendo characters, gaming tournaments for fans of all ages, photo ops, and much more!
Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser commented on what fans can expect going tint the event following the official announcement:
“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. 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.”
At this time, it is unclear if the Nintendo Live 2023 event will feature any noteworthy game announcements or presentations.
With Nintendo having recently announced that it will not be attending E3 2033 – which was also recently canceled – it is unknown when the company will present new information about upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch family of systems.
More information is expected to be shared as we approach September 2023. Fans can visit the official Nintendo website page for the event to be updated on the latest updates.
