Nintendo UK - Join us and get funky at Insomnia62

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for Nintendo Switch will be playable for the first time in the UK at Insomnia62, the country’s biggest gaming festival, taking place 30th March to 2nd April at the NEC Birmingham.

You’ll be able to give the game’s new Funky Mode a go too! It’s a chill new mode that allows you to play as Funky Kong, who’s able to double jump, hover, perform infinite rolls and even perform underwater corkscrews! Thanks to his sturdy surfboard, even spikes can't slow him down!

That’s not all though, other top Nintendo Switch titles will be playable, including Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, ARMS, Pokkén Tournament DX, EA SPORTS™ FIFA 18, Rocket League® and Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition.

We’ll also be hosting daily tournaments for Splatoon 2, ARMS, Pokkén Tournament DX and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! To take part, simply sign up at the event on the day. It’s first come, first served so be sure to get to the Nintendo stand as early as possible. The finals will be played on the Nintendo stage with fun prizes up for grabs!

Worried about missing the Splatoon European Championship? Fear not! We'll be showcasing the semi-finals and final at Insomnia62, as well as the Off the Hook virtual concert!

So if you’re attending Insomia62 be sure to pay us a visit! We’ll have lots of prizes to give away at the Nintendo stage, and if you fancy just relaxing with your Nintendo Switch or Nintendo 3DS family system we’ll also have a “Bring Your Own Console” area where you can hang out with others!

We hope to see you there!
