Watch: Nintendo VS at PAX West Live!
Nintendo Invitations Today at PAX West this year, and today Nintendo has a treat for us.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe returns to PAX Arena, where the top 12 Mario Kart 8 players compete to win. Whoever has the most points after 8 races wins. A checkered flag flutters on 13:00 Pacific Time (starts at 4:00 pm ET / 9:00 pm PST / 10:00 pm CET).
After that, ahead of the release of the full game this week, the Splatoon 3 event will debut, set to start on 2:00 PM PT (5:00 PM ET / 10:00 PM PST / 11:00 PM CET). Today’s event will feature a new Splatoon title, where four teams will battle it out in a mini-bracket round of multiple best-of-breed matches until each team plays each other. The semi-finals will then see the top seed take on the bottom seed, with the two middle seeds taking on each other in a best-of-5 splat-off before the two winners face off in a best-of-7 ranked battle.

The stream starts at 13:00 Pacific Time and should continue until 6:00 PM PT (10:00 PM ET / 3:00 AM PST / 4:00 AM CET)so you might need a cup of coffee to keep you going.
