Nintendo reveals the games playable at Gamescom 2025
That’s actually awesome! 😄 I hope everyone has a great time there, it feels like E3 all over again!
I know they are trying to build up the current lineup, but a little sad that so many of these titles are already out. It would be great to have more on the horizon for 2025.
They always focus on the near future instead of announcing shit two years out or more like Sony. Both have their faults with marketing of course but I prefer Nintendo’s strategy more.
I agree, the Christmas season is looking dry.
Nintendo’s lineup for Gamescom 2025 looks stacked. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokemon Legends: Z-A being playable is huge.
I’m planning to try them out. And when I’m playing, I usually keep something like pandasnus handy from here https://www.pandasnus.com/collections/deals, it helps me stay focused during long gaming sessions.
Makes sense. I’m more hyped about seeing if Hollow Knight: Silksong finally delivers after the long wait
Same here. It’ll be interesting to see how Nintendo balances first-party hits with third-party stuff like Hades 2 and Borderlands 4.
True, and having Mario Kart World there probably means people will crowd that booth the most.
Definitely. I also read some discussions about habits around gaming and pandasnus https://www.pandasnus.com/blogs/lounge, it’s surprising how people link those routines with long play sessions.
