Gaming giant Nintendo has had a strong presence at San Diego Comic-Con for years, with its Nintendo Gaming Lounge at the Marriott Marquis & Marina. Attendees will be pleased to learn that it’s coming back, and Nintendo is bringing a brand new game along with it: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order.

Fans can stop by the Nintendo Gaming Lounge on Thursday, July 18 – Sunday, July 21 (Wednesday Night hours unknown, 10AM-7PM on Thursday-Saturday, and 10AM-5PM on Sunday), to partake in the festivities.

The Nintendo Switch game will be featured at Nintendo’s Booth #235, but if you can’t find room there, you can swing by Nintendo’s Gaming Lounge across the street, where fans will find the game along with Pokémon Sword, Pokémon Shield, Luigi’s Mansion 3, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Super Mario Maker 2, and Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda.
