Nintendo UK Community Calendar: August 2018

Independent Nintendo community events are happening all around the UK every week offering great places to enjoy games on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS family systems while meeting and playing with like-minded Nintendo fans of all ages.

Whether you’re looking for fellow Grizzco employees for some Splatoon 2 action, enjoy testing your battle strategies in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, or simply want to share the love for your current favourite game, the events posted below are all hosted by trusted friends of Nintendo UK so you'll be sure to meet plenty of friendly faces.

With the recent release of Overcooked! 2, the fires of cookery and friendship testing co-operation are ablaze around the UK, and with Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate™ bearing its fangs hunters the UK over will be coming together to hunt beasts of all sizes.

For a taste of last month's activities, here’s a look at some of the fun that took place at Nintendo Norwich:
