In just over an hour, the very first E3 conference will kick off, signifying the first day of E3 (officially speaking the first day is Tuesday, but you know…)
Below we have compiled an easy to follow schedule for all E3 2018 shenanigans to ensure that you know what dates and times to jot down in your diary. These will also be available to view on our E3 2018 hub!
Check it out after the break.
With E3 2018 hitting off in just under one week, Nintendo have taken the initiative to explain their plans for E3 in more detail, as well as announce the official name of their video presentation: ‘Nintendo Direct: E3 2018’… who couldn’t see that coming!
Attendees of E3 will be excited to learn that both Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch and Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee, along with other games, will be playable on the show floor. Those who wish to play Smash Bros. will need to register a timeslot beforehand however. Additionally, if you are caught playing your own Nintendo Switch while roaming the show floor, not only may you trip yourself up, but a Nintendo rep may also give you a super limited edition pin too!
All the details can be read after the break!
E3 2018 is so close, I can nearly taste it. The real question isn’t what games and hardware will be announced next week, but just what heck would E3 taste like? Well, if I had to guess, pineapple… and cake, but the really good kind of cake.
If you are in Bournemouth next week, why not come down to Bournemouth University’s SUBU building to play some games and watch the entire event live. As part of BourneNintendo and LGBT+ Gaming Society, I am hosting a Nintendo E3 Viewing Party to collectively fanboy over each and every announcement Nintendo makes. Not only that, but I will have the Switch set up to so we can also play some great games while waiting for Nintendo’s presentation. Oh, did I mention there will be snacks to?
Tuesday 12th June 2018 from 15:30 until 20:00

Over the weekend, Nintendo announced their plans for this years E3 event. You know, that one week a year that is literally a second Christmas for gamers across the globe.
Kick-starting Nintendo’s presence at E3 2018 is the Splatoon 2 World Championships’ opening rounds. This will start at 11:30pm BST on Monday 11th June 2018 and will find the creme de la creme of worldwide Splatoon 2 champions.
The main event will proceed a day later on Tuesday 12th June 2018 in Nintendo’s Video Presentation. As per usual, Nintendo will be showcasing a range of upcoming Nintendo Switch games for 2018 (and probably beyond). Expect some Smash Bros. and new announcements here. It is currently unknown how long the presentation will be at this time.
The video presentation will be directly followed by three full days of Nintendo Treehouse: Live. This is the chance to get a closer looks at games from the video presentation, along with some commentary by the Nintendo Treehouse and game developers. If it’s anything like previous years, we may receive even more reveals.
The 12th June will also see the grand finales of not only the Splatoon 2 World Championships, but also the Super Smash Bros. Invitational, back to back. More details of specific timings will follow.
You can catch most, if not all, these events on our E3 2018 Hub, or Nintendo’s Official E3 Microsite.

E3 is quickly approaching and Nintendo have already started to reveal some of their plans for Gamer Christmas. Nintendo will kick off E3 with two highly intense tournaments. The Super Smash Bros. Invitational and the Splatoon 2 World Championships will go live on the 11th and 12th June 2018. If you aren’t at E3, never fear as Nintendo will be streaming the action live on their YouTube and Twitch channels.
The Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018 will bring a specially invited group of Smash players and pit them against each other on the recently announced Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch. This is likely the first time gameplay will be showcased to the world, so it should definitely be interesting to follow.
The Splatoon 2 World Championships will take the winners from the Splatoon European Championships, as well as winners from a soon to be announced online open tournament (hosted by BattleFly) for the US and Canada. There will also be open tournaments for Austrailia/New Zealand, and Japan. They will then go head to hear for an all out Inkling war at E3.
