Disney is no stranger to family oriented game shows but its latest Nintendo Switch Family Showdown will be the brand's first venture into video game-related contests. The contest is fairly self-explanatory and will pit families against one another at Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Tennis Aces and Just Dance 2018.
Families hoping to participate in the Nintendo Switch Family Showdown will need to submit a one-minute original video explaining why they are the "ultimate Nintendo fans." The series will air in August 2018 and will be available on Disney XD and the DisneyNow app. Families competing in the Nintendo Switch Family Showdown will be eligible to win additional Nintendo Switch consoles, eShop cards and controllers.
The contest will be open to all families with children that are between the ages of 6 and 18.
