Trailer Influences
With the event taking place in an old cinema, the trailer featured many different movie posters and references with the cast of Super Smash Bros filling in the parts of each one. A short video showing each reference was uploaded to the trailer creator’s X account.
More information about Regen 2024 can be found on the event page including extra experiences such as an LGBTQ+ Meet, Cosplay Contest as well as guides for travel to the area and local hotels. A schedule is still TBD.
