Nintendo has revealed that it will be bringing a demo of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to Evo 2018 this year, alongside the Super Smash Bros. tournaments already scheduled to take place.
Evo, or the Evolution Championship Series, is a yearly esports event that has players battling it out in the biggest and best fighting game tournaments. This year will see Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and the much-loved Super Smash Bros. Melee have their own mainstage tournaments, but the latest release on Switch will also be playable for eager fans.
The event is taking place from 3rd - 5th August with tickets and event registration available right now from the official website. If you live in or around Las Vegas, Nevada and want to get your hands on Nintendo's latest fight-athon, make sure to secure those tickets.
Ultimate is unsurprisingly being showcased at every event possible at the moment - just yesterday we heard the news of the game being present at San Diego Comic-Con - so we're hopeful that more and more players will get opportunities to attend events in due time.
Will you be going?

Maybe one year...
Hopefully Ultimate finally pushes Melee out of the way next year.
@LeRaposa I think Ultimate will replace Wii U and Melee will continue to be honest...
Still don't like the look of Mario, his legs and arms have been stretched I'm sure.
Especially on the front cover
ARGH and I can't go this year. Sigh.
I played melee again a week ago. I have to say tho, the games still looks and plays awesome! Even after all those years.
Cool stuff. I'm also curious to see if Super Smash Con will get the demo too...wouldn't be remotely surprised if it did.
Here's hoping we get a reveal or something at EVO...it tends to be the place to reveal new info about a fighting game.
I would LOOOOOVE for Nintendo to bring the demo for SSB5 to the UK:/
Nintendo please:|
How about an eshop demo Nintendo common I know you wanna give us an eshop demo!
@Zoda_Fett Exactly:D
I would love for a SSB5 tournament to take place here in the UK...
Where's your fish and chips Nintendo:/
Melee fans are probably going to avoid it the same way they avoid soap.
Melee is too popular, so no
Are people still saying this is just a port of the Wii U game or what?
Remember that 4Chan "leak" that suggested a new character would be revealed at EVO? ...Interesting.
