Nintendo UK Community Calendar: July
12/07/2018
Be they focused on a single game or a celebration of many, independent Nintendo community events are happening all around the UK every week offering great places to enjoy games on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS family systems while meeting and playing with like-minded Nintendo fans of all ages.
Whether you’re looking for fellow Grizzco employees for some Splatoon 2 action, enjoy testing your battle strategies in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, or simply want to share the love for your current favourite game, the events posted below are all hosted by trusted friends of Nintendo UK so you'll be sure to meet plenty of friendly faces!
With the recent release of Mario Tennis Aces, many communities are taking up their rackets to explore the competitive depth of the title, while other groups are simply meeting for some fun in the sun with classic titles such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
For a taste of last month's activities, here’s a look at some of the fun that took place at Nintendo Nottingham:
