A priori, Nintendo ne evening not here au Summer Game Festivalthe event of Geoff Keighley which replaces, in a way, the E3 (and that you can follow live this Thursday.) A logical absence since we hope that Nintendo will broadcast like (virtually) every year in June, a new Nintendo Direct a few days later… But Nintendo has just announced that it will not be present at the other summer event either: the gamescom unfolding August 24-28 in Cologne, Germany. In an official statement, the company said that although the gamescom was “a central event in Nintendo’s event calendar“, she wouldn’t anyway,”following careful consideration”, not displacement. However, Nintendo specifies that the company will be present all summer in Germany in many other events. See the press release from Nintendo of Europe below.
“Gamescom is a central event in Nintendo’s events calendar. This year, however, following careful consideration, we have decided not to attend Cologne. Instead, players can try out games for Nintendo Switch in the part of many events all over Germany. Previously planned events include roadshows with our airstreamer and bulli, for example at venues such as the SWR Summer and the Stuttgart Children’s and Youth Festival. For fans of Japan and games video, we have decided to attend Main Matsuri Japan Festival in Frankfurt as well as DoKomi in Dusseldorf and Animagic in Mannheim. More stops and promotions are planned. We look forward to seeing our fans once more at many regional events .
