Nintendo is set to make a major impact at PAX East 2023, one of the United States' largest gaming conventions, taking place from March 23.
The iconic video game company will be present with a fully-featured booth, engaging fans with exclusive giveaways and competitive tournaments highlighting major Nintendo Switch titles.
Attendees can look forward to exciting activities and sought-after collectibles, solidifying Nintendo's ongoing commitment to delivering unique fan experiences at premier gaming events.
Exclusive Collectible Pins for Splatoon 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Fans visiting the Nintendo booth at PAX East will have an opportunity to obtain limited-edition lapel pins themed around two of the company's leading franchises.
These collectible pins feature designs from "Splatoon 3" and the highly anticipated "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom." Both items are available while supplies last and can be claimed by checking in at the event with a registered My Nintendo account.
Nintendo continues to leverage its My Nintendo rewards program to enhance event experiences and engage its dedicated fanbase.
These pins commemorate both the ongoing popularity of "Splatoon 3," released for Nintendo Switch in September 2022, and the upcoming launch of "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom," further fueling excitement among series enthusiasts.
On-site and Online Sweepstakes from Nintendo VS
In addition to the collectible pins, Nintendo VS—the company’s competitive gaming initiative—will be running both on-site and online sweepstakes during PAX East 2023.
Attendees and online participants with a My Nintendo account can enter for a chance to win a custom-made gaming chair, designed for dedicated Nintendo fans and competitive players alike.
Splatoon 3 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Championships
Nintendo will also host live championships for its popular multiplayer titles "Splatoon 3" and "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" at the PAX East booth.
These tournaments showcase the vibrant esports scene on the Nintendo Switch and offer visitors the chance to witness top-tier gameplay.
While "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" will not be playable or showcased at the event, a spokesperson for Nintendo confirmed its absence last week.
PAX East 2023 underscores Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to both community engagement and live event participation.
Between exclusive merchandise, engaging competitions, and unique prize opportunities, Nintendo continues to place its fans front and center at major conventions across the globe.
