Nintendo today announced that the company will be hosting its first-ever tournament for Super Smash Bros. 3DS at San Diego Comic-Con. The tournament will take place on July 25, with fans invited to come to the Nintendo Gaming Lounge at the Marriott Marquis & Marina located at 333 W. Harbor Drive (adjacent to the San Diego Convention Center) for a chance to participate.
Starting at noon, there will be a preliminary round in which groups of four competitors battle it out, with one winner advancing. During the finals, players will duke it out in one-on-one matches to determine the top player. Tournament slots are limited, and players will be able to sign up the day of the event on a first-come, first-served basis.
For players and fans who are not able to attend San Diego Comic-Con, tournament action will be streamed live on Nintendo’s Twitch channel at http://www.twitch.tv/Nintendo.
