News: If you are in the Los Angeles area during E3 then Nintendo wants you to attend the Super Smash Bros. Invitational at the Nokia Theatre.

E3 is coming up soon and Nintendo has just invited the public to a Super Smash Bros. Invitational. On Tuesday, June 10, Nintendo will welcome 16 previously selected highly skilled Super Smash Bros. players to Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles to celebrate Super Smash Bros. fan culture and find out who will emerge victorious on the big stage. The Super Smash Bros. Invitational will entertain thousands of spectators in person, and will also be live-streamed on both Twitch’s E3 channel and Nintendo’s Twitch channel to let countless others around the world be among the first to see the new game in action.

As a special treat for the biggest fans, attendees who dress up as their favorite Super Smash Bros. characters may be selected for priority seating right in front of the stage on which the tournament will occur. The event will be photographed and filmed, so the best costumes might appear on Twitch or Nintendo’s YouTube channel, where the event can also be viewed.

The details for Tuesday, June 10:

9:30 a.m.: Wristband distribution begins at NOKIA Plaza at L.A. LIVE, 777 Chick Hearn Court in Los Angeles. A wristband is required for entry, and 3,000 wristbands are available to Nintendo fans on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. Fans are requested to not line up prior to Tuesday morning. Once a wristband is obtained, fans can leave the plaza area and then return later that day, closer to the start of the event. The order that wristbands are obtained in the morning does not impact the order of entry into the venue in the afternoon.

2:30 p.m.: Doors open

4:00 p.m.: Super Smash Bros. Invitational begins

Super Smash Bros on the Wii U is currently slated to be released this holiday season with the 3DS version being released this summer. Will you be attending the Super Smash Bros. Invitational? Let us know what you think below.
