Nintendo has announced its schedule for their E3 2019 plans via tweet today, revealing a couple of events and of course, the mandatory Direct broadcast to reveal its slate of titles coming from the House of Mario for the rest of 2019 and beyond.

The tweet from the Nintendo of America cup reveals that the Splatoon 2 World Championships will take place on June 8 at 7pm UK Time, followed by the Super Smash Bros Ultimate World Championship 2019 3V3 immediately afterwards at 10pm. Both events will be livestreamed.

Then, on June 11 at 5pm UK time, this year's E3 Nintendo Direct will broadcast around the world from LA. No word on exactly what will feature yet, although details of the long awaited Animal Crossing for Switch are surely the top of most fans' wishlists since its confirmation last year.

After this will come three days of Nintendo Switch gameplay with the usual chats with developers from the regular Nintendo Treehouse broacasts to follow up the announcements from the Direct from June 11.
