Welcome to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate release party at the NYXL pop-up shop in Brooklyn! It’s an honor to work alongside an Overwatch League team to bring events like this to the Tristate Smash community. Let’s let them know exactly how awesome our scene is!
Come drop in any time after 2 pm on the day the game drops to get matches in on one of the 15+ consoles (or bring your own!) to start learning the new game alongside some of NYC’s best players–or just to have fun!
We’ll be giving away cool merch all day, especially to those who unlock characters on the systems ?
If you’re in or around the Brooklyn area, you’re definitely not gonna want to miss this one!
Please don’t hesitate to contact me (Max Krchmar) with any questions or concerns.
Thank you, and hope to see you there!

Seattle? Montreal? Why is E3 held in Los Angeles? Those places hardly compare to New York City, the mecca of innovative creators, risk takers, and go getters. Diversity, technology, and art all intersect and thrive in this magical place; so why is New York often cast to the side within the gaming industry? Why aren’t we recognized more for the cultural impacts our major players make?
Join us as we delve into the complex realities of New York City’s gaming industry. From the five boroughs and beyond, we’ll discuss what it is like for developers, players, and publishers to work, thrive, and succeed in the greatest city in the world.
Panelists TBA.
