Nintendo has finally announced brand new dates for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the Splatoon 3 World Championships, which were both originally meant to take place at Nintendo Live 2024 in Tokyo.
Nintendo shared the new dates on Twitter, with the championships for both games now taking place on 13th April (for Splatoon 3) and 14th April 2024 (for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe). The events will be streamed, with Nintendo to announce details later on.
The original championships were postponed back in December 2023 after Nintendo cancelled Nintendo Live 2024, citing safety concerns. The planned Zelda and Splatoon concerts, which were also due to take place at the event, have also recently been rescheduled.
You'll be able to watch both of those on the official Nintendo YouTube Channel, with The Legend of Zelda Orchestra Concert taking place at 5am PT / 8am ET / 1pm GMT on 9th February, and the Splatoon 3 concert on 10th February.
Will you be tuning in to the Splatoon 3 or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe championships? Let us know in the comments.

Owell that gives us time to practice I guess.
Safety concerns? I tried clicking the link but it brought me to a 404 page.
@IceDomino Not sure why that specific link doesn't work, but the one in the related articles does (it's the second one) if you're still interested and haven't already heard about it elsewhere.
@JohnnyMind Evidently I already asked on that article what was going on...and got literally no answer since December.
@IceDomino I don’t think full details were ever disclosed, but it seemed that there were some serious threats towards the Nintendo Live event and participants/staff. So the full event ended up being called off. The new event won’t have any attendees/audience members for safety reasons as well.
