Registrations are also open for the Nintendo Live event set to take place in Seattle in early September, and there are also Nintendo franchise themed events planned to take place in the Japanese cities of Fukuoka and Joetsu.

There will also be attractions based on Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Splatoon 3, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and the upcoming Pikmin 4.
