Splatoon 3 and Mario Kart AU/NZ Championships qualifiers dated, final at PAX Aus

Nintendo has announced the dates for the Splatoon 3 and Mario Kart AU/NZ Championships for 2023. If you missed the announcement of these, they were hidden in the last Direct.

There will be qualifying events for both games in the coming weeks, with the finals for both being played at PAX Australia 2023 on October 8th. Guess Nintendo will be at PAX this year, then!

Splatoon 3 has two qualifiers on Saturday 19th August and Sunday 27th August from 11:00am AEST / 1:00pm NZST. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s tournaments take place on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th and 11th of September.
