Already, the replica Fortnite bus, parked in the city's Plaza de la Marina and the Pokémon exhibition lining Calle Marqués de Larios has sparked excitement. The festival programme promises even more: international speakers and the chance to try out the brand new products by Nintendo, revealed recently for the first time at E3, the world-renowned videogame festival in Los Angeles.
