Reason for postponement
The Company has been receiving persistent threats targeting its employees, and as the targets of these threats have recently spread to the audience and staff of the Splatoon Koshien 2023 National Final, the Company has decided to postpone the event, placing the highest priority on the safety of its customers.
The implementation of the Splatoon 3 World Championship 2024, which is linked to the Splatoon Koshien 2023 National Finals, will also be postponed. In addition, Nintendo Live 2024 TOKYO on 20 and 21 January 2024, which was scheduled to be held in conjunction with Splatoon 3 World Championship 2024, will be cancelled as it has been determined that the safety of the audience cannot be adequately ensured, The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Online Challenge Final Stage and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe World Championship 2024, which were scheduled to take place at Nintendo Live 2024 TOKYO, will be postponed.
