Nintendo has officially announced an in-person and live event set for September 2023.

Nintendo Live 2023 Announced as an In-Person Event Despite No E3

Nintendo Live 2023 has been announced by the official Nintendo Twitter account which will be happening in Seattle, Washington this September. The exact date has yet to be pinned down but details of “Nintendo Switch gameplay, live stage performances, tournaments, photo ops, and more” will also be happening.

Other details on the official page for the event tease a “large-scale themed area” which will showcase “top competitors”. Photo ops will include some sculptures from iconic Nintendo games for attendees to take pictures of. Previous live events have taken place in Japan, but this will be the first time it will be happening Stateside.

This news comes fresh after the recent major announcement of no E3 being held this year. The well-known event was planned to happen in June but was later announced to be cancelled with Nintendo being one of the major players to be out of the mix. This was also following the absence of Playstation and Xbox, inevitably closing out the video conference.

Recent years had Nintendo take part in E3 in digital format, with pre-recorded presentations versus live events. However, Nintendo still hosted yearly live gameplay through Nintendo Treehouse. This year however it seems their own hosted event seems the way forward.

Announcing #NintendoLive 2023, an in-person event for fans of all ages that will take place in Seattle this September! Experience Nintendo Switch gameplay, live stage performances, tournaments, photo ops, and more.

What About a Nintendo Direct in June?

Things are still up in the air are whether Nintendo will still have a Direct showcase which is usually released around E3. Or maybe we will just have the Nintendo Live 2023 event in September. Will there be any news or announcements for the Live event? There have been Directs during the September time period, so only time will tell.

A pre-launch trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been announced to be dropping on April 13th at 7AM PT.

Nintendo Live 2023 will be happening in September 2023 in Seattle, Washington.
