Nintendo’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 3 World Championships are this weekend

After a little bit of a delay (and a cancelled event), the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the Splatoon 3 World Championships are set to take place this week.

The championships are taking place in Japan this week on Saturday, April 13th and Sunday April 14th. Because they’re in Japan they’re at great times for Aussies, and that means you can cheer on locals the Greasy Goblins in Splatoon 3 and Panda in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
