Gamescom will be starting tomorrow, where many video gaming companies will have upcoming releases available to play at the show floor. However, one company that has had a history of having a very small presence at the event, if any at all, is Nintendo. This year is no exception, with the company announcing back in April that they will not be there.
Unfortunately, it isn’t just Nintendo itself that won’t be there. You see, when Gamescom’s organizers revealed this year’s award nominees, the “Best Nintendo Switch Game” category was not there. TheGamer asked the organizers what happened, and the response they got was that “there were too few submissions for the Best Nintendo Switch category this year. The award committee, therefore, decided to cancel the category”. So, there will not be a “Best Nintendo Switch Game” award category at this year’s Gamescom.

I can understand the 2024 lineup as of now not being as strong as 2023 or 2017… but the remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was pretty damn good.
I don’t think people care that much about “Gamescom Awards”. Nintendo or otherwise.
Sounds like they are just trying to make a point rather than it being for any actual reason. I imagine they are unhappy that Nintendo doesn’t support their show and so they don’t want to to support Nintendo, which is fair enough. Obviously they can’t say that because they wouldn’t want to completely burn bridges for the future so this is their way of showing their displeasure. No issue at all
Gamescom happened this time last year aaaanndd…. Didn’t we get two Mario RPG remakes and Super Mario Wonder since then? You telling me a Mario game can’t win best Switch game?
