Welcome to our first Gaming Week! Since starting our Bell Tree Week series two years ago, we've cycled through all of the originally announced week types except for one. The wait is now over and it's finally here! Gaming Week is dedicated to playing all sorts of video games other than Animal Crossing. With the new Animal Crossing game coming out soon, it's the perfect time to play them before your gaming time is all used up. Gaming Week will actually take place over the next two weeks and feature events for these Nintendo Switch games:
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
- Pokémon Sword and Shield
- Splatoon 2
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Events
There are five different event types and a total of eight events:
Tournaments
Sign up ahead of time and schedule matches with your opponents when the tournaments start. These tournaments use a round-robin bracket and the person with the most points at the end of the event will be the winner.
Free-for-all Game Nights
Show up to play online during the scheduled times.
Leaderboards
Play by yourself and try to get the highest score or the best time!
Arcade Games
Try your best at these early 2000s Flash games! Can you get the highest score?
Trivia
Join our Discord at the scheduled time and put your gaming knowledge to the test.
Rewards
