Video: Here's What Nintendo Did At Gamescom 2015

Whole lotta Marios

by Damien McFerran Mon 10th Aug 2015

Gamescom has closed its doors for another year, and with over 345,000 attendees having sampled all the lovely new titles on display. Nintendo was there in full force, showing off some of its new games as well as celebrating its past.

To mark another bumper year at Gamescom, Nintendo has posted up some video content taken from the event. Naturally they're in German, but you get a feel of what the show was all about - as well as the positive reaction from those who dropped by Nintendo's stand.

Did you attend Gamescom this year? Let us know your own thoughts by posting a comment below.

That's nice. Where are all these Nintendo fans where I live? Nobody gives a crap about Nintendo other than me, my sister and cousin.

I'm glad that the Mewtwo amiibo finally got a EU release date.

I went dressed up as Mario but got the wrong day, then I got beaten up on the train home by some thugs who were laughing at me in my costume, and when I returned home from the hospital I found my wife had left me. On the plus side I got a new pair of socks, so it all evens out.

I wish Nintendo Europe did some 'live from tree-house sessions' at Gamescom - like what they do at E3. Or even a Gamescom Nintendo Direct just so people that don't attend can be 'directly' in the action.

Aw man, now I totally regret not going to Cologne... next year it's definitely time for my first Gamescom, then hopefully with a 3DS.

@Ouch You're joking, right? I mean, your wife leaving you after a few days on the Gamescom, that doesn't make sense...
If not, that's really sad. Did you at least report those thugs to the police? I mean with all the witnesses in the train... and which route where you on? What do you mean by "the wrong day"?

@IAmDeclanJay That would be nice, but maybe they are waiting with new Nintendo Directs because of Iwata's passing? After all, it would be weird having them stream "directly to you" without him standing there...
