It seems that Nintendo is going all-in on the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for the Switch. Aside from hosting the Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018, it seems that the upcoming game will be the primary focus of Nintendo’s annual E3 Direct, which will be taking place on June 12, at 9:00 AM Pacific. As such, it will have the most screen time during the presentation.

Meanwhile, the Nintendo Treehouse Live broadcast that’s set to follow the E3 Direct will also focus on Super Smash Bros. for Switch. Nintendo will be streaming live footage of the game during this broadcast.

In addition to these, the game itself is set to be playable on the E3 show floor, allowing attendees to try the game.

E3 2018 will take place from June 12 through June 14, 2018 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. As with last year’s show, this year’s show will once again be open to the general public.
