The tournament's expected time of conclusion is 02:00 UK time or 18:00 PDT on Tuesday, 12 June 2018. The newcomer to Nintendo Switch - Super Smash Bros. will have its own Invitational that will kick off immediately after Splatoon 2 World Championship's finals.

Nintendo's presentation at E3 will start on Tuesday, 12 June 2018 at 17:00 UK time or 09:00 PDT. It will consist exclusively of Nintendo Switch games but it will be hard to surprise any fans since the list of the games that will be shown has been leaked previously.

That said, Nintendo Switch owners will be in for a treat regardless, as they will be able to see the trailers and gameplay footage for Fortnite, Fallout 3, Star Fox Lylat System and Metroid Prime: Renegade. To top it off, there will be playable Punch Out, Splatoon 2 Octo expansion and Super Smash Bros. demo stations. You can see the full list of leaked items .

The Nintendo Switch gameplay will begin with Super Smash Bros. right after the video presentation.
