Nintendo is skipping gamescom this year, but is going on a summer tour from May to September, visiting various city festivals and family events. The company wants to appeal to gamers young and old.

Starting on 11 May, the Nintendo Summer Tour 2024 will transform public spaces into digital playgrounds until 15 September (not at gamescom).
