Nintendo has announced that its Nintendo Live event is coming to Seattle this year in September, marking its first U.S.-based iteration. Nintendo Live 2023 will celebrate Nintendo’s franchises and the Nintendo Switch with gameplay, live stage performances, and many other activities.
After debuting in Japan last year, Nintendo Live is being brought to the U.S. this year in the fall to reach fans of the company’s franchises in the West. Nintendo is advertising the event as suitable for audiences of all ages in order to expand its reach per Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser:
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.
Nintendo Live 2023 will feature a themed arena with Nintendo game-inspired activities at the currently-undisclosed Seattle venue, and attendees will be able to take part in Nintendo Switch gameplay, enjoy live entertainment, spectate gaming tournaments, and take photos with Nintendo mascots like Mario and Luigi amongst many others.
