Visitors to gamescom 2025 can probably look forward to numerous opportunities to try out the Switch 2 at the trade fair. Nintendo has confirmed its participation in gamescom 2025 via social media. The company skipped gamescom in 2024.

Last year, a Nintendo spokesperson said ahead of gamescom: "Gamescom is a great event, and each year we evaluate whether Nintendo should participate or not." This year, the evaluation appears to have been positive. The company, which has its European headquarters in Frankfurt, confirmed its participation in the world's most important games fair via social media. Nintendo posted that the date, 20 to 24 August, should be marked in red on calendars, adding its logo in white on a bright Nintendo red background.

Details about Nintendo's appearance are not yet available. However, there has never been a shortage of fun at Nintendo in the years the company has ex<hibited in Cologne.
