Nintendo UK are set to hold a special tournament this year in celebration of Super Smash Bros‘ launch on the Nintendo 3DS. For fans of the fighting franchise, registration for the National UK Championship will begin on October 3, when the game releases for the handheld, and continue until October 8.
Those who wish to enter must have a copy of the game and own a Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL, or 2DS and apply via the following link on Friday: www.nintendo.co.uk/supersmashbros3DStournament. Make sure you get your application in quick – stating your preferred date and location – to be in with a chance of making the heats as places are limited.

Prizes up for grabs include a Wii U console, a copy of Super Smash Bros Wii U, and a Smash Bros goody bag for the winner of the National UK Championship, while the runner-up will receive the latter prizes, including a copy of the Wii U game and a goody bag.
