Nintendo Live 2022 is happening soon, three years after the Kyoto software developer’s last in-person concert, and as is tradition by now, the Big N will stream the concert on YouTube for anyone outside Japan to watch. This year’s Nintendo Live will include an Animal Crossing concert and a performance by Deep Cut, the fictional cephalopod idol group from Nintendo’s newly launched Splatoon 3.
Nintendo Live 2022 will air on Oct. 9, 2022, from 5 a.m. EDT/2 a.m. PDT/10 a.m. BST. Nintendo will host a recorded version of the concert on its YouTube channel after the event ends.
Unlike previous concerts, though, Nintendo Live 2022 won’t feature subtitles. Previous events included localized subtitles and were broadcast through Nintendo’s regional YouTube channels. This year, the concert will be in Japanese, and Nintendo of Japan’s YouTube channel is the only place to view it.
Get ready for two special events from Nintendo Live 2022: the #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons DJ K.K. Paradise Mix!! and #Splatoon3 Deep Cut concerts!

The last Nintendo Live features a Splatoon 2 concert, but this marks the first time the trio of Shiver, Frye, and Big Man the manta ray will perform outside the game’s Splatfest events – and the first Nintendo Live since the COVID-19 pandemic struck.
The 2019 concert skewed towards Splatoon 2, with only a handful of Animal Crossing performances pulled from K.K. Slider’s weekly repertoire. However, in Nintendo UK’s tweet announcing the event, the publisher said fans can look forward to a suite of Animal Crossing performances as part of the new DJ K.K. Paradise Mix.
