HYPER JAPAN is an annual event held in London that celebrates all things Japan, from music, fashion, food, sports, technology and, of course, video games. Nintendo has been a consistent supporter of the event in the past, and has now confirmed its appearance this year.

The event, which takes place at Earl’s Court from July 25-27, will see Nintendo showing various playable 3DS and Wii U games, though the exact titles are yet to be confirmed.

The Nintendo UK store will also have a ‘pop-up’ presence to sell some goods, and the company says it’ll “be participating in a number of showcases on the main stage to keep fans entertained throughout the event”.

Nintendo UK’s Marketing and PR Director, Shelly Pearce, had this to say about the event:

As a Japanese company Nintendo is really happy to be returning to the HYPER JAPAN expo in Earls Court. We really enjoy celebrating our Japanese heritage with our fans and the line-up of Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games available at the show promises to have something for every attendee to enjoy.

This is an must-see event for fans of Japanese culture, and may be worth checking out if you’re in the area next month. Tickets start from £12 for a day pass, but further information can be gleamed from the HYPER JAPAN website.

Let us know if you’ll be in the UK and plan to check out the event this year!
