Konsolengigant sagt gamescom 2024 ab

Apr 15, 2024 3:38 PM

In an unexpected move, Nintendo has confirmed that it will not be present at gamescom 2024, one of the largest video game industry events in the world. The decision from Nintendo comes as a surprise, particularly after their significant participation in the 2023 edition. Nintendo had engaged audiences with gameplay stations, tournaments, and giveaways, among other activities.

The annual games convention set to take place from August 21 to 25 will go on without one of its historically key exhibitors. While no specific reasons were given for their withdrawal, a spokesperson from Nintendo of Europe emphasized that while gamescom remains a pivotal event, the company has decided not to participate in the Cologne showcase after careful consideration.

However, fans of Nintendo won't be entirely missing out. The company has suggested that upcoming titles like 'Paper Mario: The Legend of the Aeon Door' and 'Luigi's Mansion 2 HD' will be showcased at other events around Germany, with announcements to be made in advance of each event.

Speculations regarding the announcement of the highly anticipated 'Nintendo Switch 2' during gamescom should be tempered, as it seems more plausible now that Nintendo might hold a separate event to unveil the successor to its popular console, rumored to be slated for release in spring 2025.

Gamers looking for a full list of games and publishers attending gamescom 2024 will have to stay tuned as more information becomes available closer to the event date.

Will Nintendo be at gamescom 2024?

No, Nintendo has officially announced that they will not be participating in gamescom 2024.

As one of the major players in the gaming industry, Nintendo has a history of creating landmark gaming consoles and titles. Their absence at gamescom 2024 will be felt by many fans eager for updates and hands-on experiences with new games. Nintendo's current console, the Nintendo Switch, has been a massive success since its launch in March 2017, merging the gap between handheld and home gaming systems. With a vast library of iconic franchises such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon, the company has consistently been an influential force at gaming conventions, making their withdrawal from gamescom a significant event in the gaming calendar.
