E3 is finally here and fans are at peak excitement for all of the announcements. Those landing on the convention floor will have the opportunity to playtest a lot of games being showcased this year. Among them is the new Super Smash Bros teased earlier this year for the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo will be holding a Super Smash Bros tournament at E3, pitting players from around the world against each other in their popular fighter. In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Nintendo’s Bill Trinen opened up about the tournament and their reasons for choosing Melee players against Super Smash Bros for players of the Wii U. Here is what he had to say about the tournament:

“Typically players from the different games don’t play against each other, but we wanted to showcase the game before launch and wanted to represent both sides of what is a very strong Smash Bros. community,” said Trinen.

“The tournament is going to be designed to show quite a bit of the game in terms of modes, characters and items, but obviously we won’t show everything and we’re keeping a few surprises for later in the year.”

The Executive for Nintendo also noted that fans would be learning more about the mechanics of the game at the tournament and during their presentation. Beyond this, Nintendo will also be revealing the roster and a new “DLC Perspective” at their live Showcase. Fans can learn more about all of Nintendo’s big reveals on June 12th at 9am PT.
