Time to go into battle

Nintendo will be in attendance at the upcoming Gamescom event in Cologne, Germany from 21st to 25th August, and has been promising plenty of exciting releases as playable demos. The list of games at the show has been unveiled, with the blockbuster announcement likely to be confirmation that Pokémon X & Y will be playable in Europe for the first time, with Nintendo saying that it's "a short demo that gives a little taste of Kalos... and the thrill of battling with new Pokémon."

We suspect there'll be some lengthy queues for that one, but there's lot more on offer and listed below.
