PAX Australia 2023: Nintendo are bringing Mario and more to the show
We learnt a while ago that Nintendo would be at PAX Australia 2023, with their Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 3 tournament finals, but now we know a little more about their line up.
Nintendo have confirmed that Super Mario Bros. Wonder will be playable at the show, marking the first time the game is playable in Australia.

We also got word that the winners of the Splatoon 3 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe events will be flown to Japan to take part in the World Championships at Nintendo Live Tokyo 2024. That event took place in October last year in Japan, there was one just recently in the USA, but the next one will be happening in January 2024.

Finally, Nintendo have also confirmed that part of their presence at the show will be in the form of a My Nintendo Store, a place to pick up the items that you normally need to buy online. You can of course buy the items online now and have them shipped straight to you, there is no word on exactly will be sold, but I would imagine most items that they get from the official stores in Japan are likely.
