Nintendo has a long history with competitive Smash tournaments, often at odds with them. Thankfully that’s not the case for Genesis 3, an upcoming Super Smash Bros. tournament that will see several high-profile Melee players pitted against one another yet again.
The tournament’s registration numbers for each version of Super Smash Bros. have been revealed as well, with Melee taking the crown at 1,840. Smash Wii U has 1,097 participants while the original Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo 64 has 239 participants.
We're proud to announce that Genesis 3 has officially partnered with @NintendoAmerica!

With Genesis 3 officially partnered with Nintendo of America, there should be no problems accessing the live streams once the event is live this weekend. Are you going to watch the tournament on Twitch this weekend?
