European Online Challenge: Winter Clash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Begins December 6th! | News

Let’s dive into the details of the “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Online Challenge: Winter Clash 2024,” an exciting online showdown happening within the Nintendo Switch’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Hosted by Nintendo of Europe SE, based out of Frankfurt, Germany, this event promises to be a thrilling experience for fans across the continent.

Mark your calendars for Friday, December 6th, as the tournament kicks off from 18:00 to 20:00 CET (or 17:00 to 19:00 UK time). Players from a wide range of European countries, including Austria, France, and the UK, will be competing. However, those located in far-flung regions like the Azores and Svalbard may face participation restrictions due to connectivity issues.

If you’re ready to jump into the action, here’s what you’ll need: a Nintendo Account set to one of the participating countries, paired with an active Nintendo Switch Online membership. It doesn’t matter if it’s a paid membership or a complimentary trial. Players also need access to the Game itself via their Nintendo Switch. To get started, fire up the game and head to “Online”, then select “Official Tourney Qualifiers” from the main menu.

Your aim during the event? Rack up the highest Tourney score possible. This score reflects your skill level, calculated based on your match outcomes and the Tourney scores of your opponents. You can check how you stack up any time while the event is live. Feel free to compete in as many matches as you can to boost your score—any games started within the event timeframe will count, even if they finish after hours.

Competitive spirit pays off here! The top 10 scorers will snag 2,500 My Nintendo Gold Points each, while those ranking within the top 100 will earn a tidy 1,000 Gold Points. A quick heads up: any changes to an account’s country setting outside the participating nations during prize distribution could disqualify a player. Moreover, integrity is key; any funny business like cheating or exploiting bugs will lead to disqualification and possibly account suspension.

Once the dust has settled, winners will find their Gold Points credited to their Nintendo Accounts within two weeks from the event’s conclusion. You can check the My Nintendo Point Log to see when the points land in your account.

Keep in mind the Nintendo Account Agreement, the Nintendo Account Privacy Policy, and the My Nintendo Rewards Programme Terms all apply throughout this competition.

Best of luck to all competitors! Nintendo’s rich history of iconic gaming collaborations only enhances the excitement of this event, as characters from Pokemon, Super Mario, and more come to life for this ultimate showdown.

Here’s to an unforgettable winter clash—game on!
