It would appear that college football around the nation is about to get an influx of Smash Bros. Nintendo has announced the Smash Bros Ultimate College Tailgate Tour, beginning in late September.

If you enjoy college football and gaming, you might get a chance to combine two good things in one place very soon. Nintendo is getting ready to launch the College Tailgate Tour in which fans will be able to try out Super Smash Bros Ultimate at specific college games throughout the nation, and the action is starting very soon.

The College Tailgate Tour was announced by Nintendo on September 12, 2018 via the official Nintendo Twitter. Beginning on September 22, 2018 and seemingly going through January 1, 2019, Nintendo will be bringing Smash Bros Ultimate to college football games nearly every week. Some of the schedule is still pending, but the schedule as it is now can be seen on the Smash Bros Tailgate Tour page.

At all appearances, the Smash Bros Ultimate Tailgate presentation will feature six gameplay stations with playable builds of Super Smash Bros Ultimate and a large screen outside that will show games where spectators can watch and cheer players on. Admission to play will be free and open to all ages, so anyone from kids and adults just have to show up to be part of the fun. Some of the locations available include Stanford vs Oregon in Eugene, Oregon; Alabama vs Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas; and Michigan vs Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio, so a number of major and popular rivalry games are already on the agenda.

This announcement comes on the back of the rescheduled Nintendo Direct set for September 13, 2018. There’s a good chance that any new characters announced for Smash Bros Ultimate that come out of the Nintendo Direct presentation could make appearances on the Super Smash Bros Ultimate Tailgate Tour. Even so, Super Smash Bros Ultimate coming up on December 7 for the Nintendo Switch, it’s a good opportunity for anyone attending college football this season to give the game a free try.

We’ll have more on the Super Smash Bros Ultimate Tailgate Tour as any further information is announced.
