Despite not attending last year, Nintendo has confirmed that it will be exhibiting at this years Gamescom event which takes place Cologne, Germany. The event will run from August 21st to August 25th and will see exhibitors from twenty-two countries. Nintendo chose not to attend last year as it was focussing its marketing resources to other campaigns. Here’s what Tim Endres, Gamescom project manager at organiser Koelnmesse had to say about Nintendo’s involvement this year.
“Nintendo’s return is an absolute highlight for our community, exhibitors and trade visitors from around the world.”
Hopefully something tremendous gets announced.
Is Gamescom a big event?
Fairly.
Its not E3 or TGS “big”, but certainly PAX sized
In terms of attendance its the worlds largest gaming expo
I know i just meant in terms of relevance it’s not massive.
Somewhat.
I guess it’s a start…for European marketing…anyway…
This.. there is no exposure in uk for the system.. in my local game its been flung in the corner next to Wii stuff. No demo box set up or nothing and apart from online no major retailers have it only game and perhaps grainger games. Tge electronic departments in tescos asda etc dont even stock games.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
:3
Ah, great to see them there again. Guess I’ve got to go there for more than 4 hours this year^^
Wii u working well for you leander? How was their tech support?
Took them exactly a week (send on monday, back on the following monday). The flaw seems to be gone (occasionally the drive would not move in the disc), as the it occurred only randomly I don’t know if it’s really gone.
Good call Nintendo.
You need to dramatically increase exposure for the WiiU.
Go break a leg!
Wii U2 confirmed.
Seriously PS4 is bout to be unveiled and I read the specs. The PS4 can handle Direct 11 and higher. Wii U will have a short life if they dont upgrade and offer games soon. Its taking to damn long.
We’ll finally start getting games from March onwards. Starting with Monster Hunter and LEGO City Undercover :D
Awesome! I may be going this year, so I want to be able to play Monolith’s new game there.
Was planning to go there this year anyway. The more to see/play, the better. (:
Hard to believe that Nintendo has big events in other countries besides the US and Japan.
It’s pretty important that they turn up so they don’t lose relevance
