Nintendo announces Gamescom return, following Switch 2 launch


Nintendo will be present at Gamescom 2025, having skipped the event last year.

The company confirmed it would be returning to the annual German event, which is the highest attended gaming convention in the world, in a post on social media. However, two of Nintendo's biggest first party games Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza will have already been released by the time Gamescom comes around, though it seems likely these will be available for players to demo while in Cologne. Meanwhile, other games coming to the Switch successor have also been available to try out at other events including Metroid Prime 4, so it again seems fair to assume it will be playable at Nintendo's Gamescom booth.
