EB Games has announced the return of its popular midnight release event, set for June 5.
Gaming enthusiasts are invited to join the retailer for this thrilling night as it launches the Nintendo Switch 2 and dozens of new games and accessories. Walk-in quantities will be available – while supplies last.
In celebration, stores will be stocked with a diverse selection of accessories, toys, and other gaming essentials to enhance your experience, said the company.
Adding to the excitement, the company will host a Mario Kart World activation on Crescent Street in Montreal during the Crescent Street Grand Prix Festival race weekend festivities, providing fans with a chance to dive into the exhilarating racing experience of Mario Kart World amidst the buzz of race weekend.
“I’m unbelievably proud of what the team has accomplished over the past few weeks. Bringing back midnight launches and organizing the race weekend event showcases our commitment to our community and our passion for gaming,” said Stephane Tetrault, owner of EB Games.
“The release of the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5th will be an epic day for the gaming community, and we are thrilled to announce that we will be opening 132 locations at 12am EDT, ensuring our customers are among the first to play,” added Jim Tyo, President of EB Games.
With over 185 stores across Canada, EB Games leads the market in Video Game and pop culture related Toys & Collectibles.
Recently it was announced that GameStop Canada, previously known as Electronics Boutique (EB Games), is being revived under its original branding following a major acquisition. Tetrault, a well-known French-Canadian entrepreneur with deep roots in the collectibles and entertainment sectors, officially acquired Electronics Boutique Canada Inc. from GameStop Global Holdings S.A.R.L.
With the acquisition, the retailer relaunched under the name EB Games Canada, a brand many Canadians still associate with their formative gaming years.
