Nintendo Live Comes To North America With A Seattle Event Scheduled For September 2023

Under the ongoing development for the June announcement show that was E3, the industry fully knows it is not happening. Despite the ESA sharing the update on the annual Los Angeles show, that is not stopping other organized events to take place. Just to name a few, Summer Game Fest, PC Gaming Show, and Ubisoft Forward are all being held independently later this June. And that is only the start.

Additionally, Microsoft shared it plans to hold its own Xbox Games Showcase later this summer as well on June 11th. The event will be comprised of the expected presentation as well as a following Starfield presentation hosted by Bethesda Game Studios directly after. Elsewhere, it is expected Nintendo could potentially host its own event as well knowing the firm was one the of the first to confirm its absence for E3 back in February.

From Nintendo on Tuesday, the Japanese company reveals its plans for a new Nintendo Live event. Originally unique to Japan, the first ever North American show will be held this September in Seattle, Washington. 

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.

Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America President

“Nintendo Live 2023 is a new way to experience the games and worlds of Nintendo, with fun gameplay, live stage performances, exciting gaming tournaments, memorable photo ops and more. Held in Seattle in September, the in-person event will celebrate Nintendo’s unique entertainment on the Nintendo Switch system, inviting all members of the family to come together, play and have fun,” the blog post reveals.

“At Nintendo Live 2023 in Seattle, attendees will experience a wide variety of Nintendo game-inspired activities across a large-scale themed area. People of all ages and gaming experience are encouraged to attend, since the experience is designed with both families and fans in mind. Whether you are a lifelong Nintendo enthusiast who knows your Like Likes from your Lakitus, or someone new to the world of Nintendo, everyone is invited to have fun.”
