Nintendo has revealed that a wonderfully exciting line-up of the most highly anticipated games will be playable at PAX West this year.

This year's event is once again taking place in Seattle, this time from 31st August to 3rd September, and promises to be a great day out - or four - for any Nintendo fan. There's a nice range of Nintendo first-party big-hitters, top third-party games, and even a Nindies arcade to check out. Here's what you can expect to see, all playable at the Nintendo booth:

That's not all, either, as Pokémon fans are in for an extra little treat. On 31st August and 1st September, a “Trainer Battle” scavenger hunt will be taking place all around PAX West and nearby Seattle areas. The @NintendoAmerica Twitter account will tweet clues and/or photos of different locations where two Nintendo street team members will be dressed as Pokémon Trainers. Fans can “battle” these to receive a special item by answering a trivia question. The Pikachu and Eevee costume characters will also be making an appearance at the downtown Sheraton Seattle hotel on 1st September. 

Tickets for the event are almost completely sold out at the time of writing, but a few still remain for the final day. If you haven't secured yours yet, make sure to head here.

Are you going to PAX West? Will you be trying out any of the games listed above?
