Nintendo Takes Super Smash Bros. on Tour!
Nintendo is trying to get as many fans as they can to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate before it launches in December. And we’re totally ok with that…
Nintendo has partnered with Wendy’s College Tailgate Tour – the largest traveling fan experience in college football – to bring Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to notable football matchups. The idea is to allow gamers to play the game before heading into the stadium to watch the game.
“Many of our biggest fans are now in college and have memories growing up playing one of the games in the Super Smash Bros. series,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We want to bring Super Smash Bros. Ultimate directly to longtime and first-time players, and what better way than to combine two of college students’ favorite pastimes: video games and football.”
A trailer with large LED screens, six game stations, Smash Bros. – sounds like a good time. Check out the tailgate schedule below to see if the tour is coming your way:
