Back in 2019 Nintendo Live started their journey in Japan, but due to Covid-19 Pandemic they had to cancel the event for a couple of years. However, Nintendo again hosted the event at the Tokyo Big Site in Odaiba on last October. This event featured live concerts of K.K. Slider and Deep Cut.
With Nintendo's recent successes including Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood and its big screen appearance with The Super Mario Bros. Movie in collaboration with Illumination. The animated title already set a record as a big opening weekend with grossing an estimated $368 million globally and U.S box office solo contribution is $195 million. This record surpassed Disney’s all-time favorite Frozen 2. The movie stars Chris Pratts as Mario and Jack Black as Bowser.
Previously Nintendo was planning to go to E3 this year, but pulled out over release schedule concerns before the E3 ultimately canceled entirely due to major companies pulling out from the event.
