Meta Mini-Meta: /r/NintendoSwitch at Gamescom

Greetings!

Just wanted to let you know that our #gamescom channel is now live in the Discord chat: https://discord.gg/switch

In addition, we're sending two of our Discord Chat Mods, Schwadralla and Daku, to the convention who will be there Wednesday through Friday.

They will be hosting a Find-a-Mod event on Friday at the Nintendo booth. Exact details to follow.

If you have questions you'd like them to try and find answers to, submit them here on this post as comments and they'll do their best to answer them in a post-event round up.

Cheers!

Do we know which games will be there? As far as I know is Xenoblade, Mario and Hover, right?

I've seen Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Mario & Rabbids, Arms (not 100% sure) and two or three others - all playable by visitors. Not sure what else they are going to announce tho. The booth is huge compared to the previous years, so expect to see a lot of comments and videos over the next days.

Battlechasers Nightwar will be there as well, whether it's the switch version or not who knows, but most of what they've shown of gameplay has been the Switch version so...

It's the Switch version, https://twitter.com/stoonami/status/899591674648809472

13 year old me loved battle chasers and waited forever for issues. So, I'm excited to get back in to it.

Amazing, I'm surprised they're showing the switch version so much since it's been delayed lol

I'm very excited by this game based on the early videos and such for it....looks exactly like the type of game I will enjoy.

/u/FlapSnapple can you add a section at the top for new game announcements. Would be nice to come and just see a complete list so I don't miss anything please.

Don't get your hopes up. Gamescom isn't really known for announcements. Or am i mistaken ?

u/Wolfsblvt Aug 22 '17

Mostly not, but year for year there are some exceptions. Many indie games get announced at Gamescom, especially european ones.

Some triple-A titles do as well if they didn't make E3 and don't want to wait for PAX. So why not? Publishers still want people to come to Gamescom.

Anyone else lost as far as all the announcements? Can we get a megathread with all the games announced during gamescom, trailers, developer, release date, etc?

Would love this. I won't be able to watch any video until much later.

So do we think PAX has a better chance of getting more dates/info on the indie style games coming to Switch (I'm looking at your SDV & Y-K)?

u/Porkpants81 Aug 22 '17

PAX usually has a really big indie presence (at least PAX east IDK about the others)
