Nintendo Switch 2 Makes Its gamescom Debut With Plenty of Games

Nintendo will be presenting the Switch 2 in style at gamescom 2025. The lineup of games includes Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Hades II, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition and many more.

Nintendo has unveiled its gamescom lineup, with the Nintendo Switch 2 unsurprisingly taking centre stage. In Hall 9.1 at Stand A10/B09, visitors can try out a variety of games, participate in tournaments, and more.

First-party games include Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (the same demo featured at the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in Berlin), Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV, and Nintendo GameCube - Nintendo Classics.

A selection of games from Nintendo's publishing and development partners will be available to try out at gamescom. These include EA Sports FC 26, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades II, Borderlands 4, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade and Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition.

As well as trying out games, visitors to the Nintendo booth can experience much more. Anyone who registers at the booth using their Nintendo Account will receive an exclusive pin and 100 Platinum Points, which can be exchanged for rewards in the My Nintendo Store. There will also be daily 'fun tournaments' for Mario Kart World, Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV, EA Sports FC 26 and the two Nintendo GameCube Nintendo Classics titles, Mario Smash Football and F-Zero GX. No registration is required. Fans of Pikmin Bloom also have something to look forward to at gamescom 2025. As soon as they enter the exhibition, they will be presented with a Spot Challenge.
