Nintendo is attending PAX East in full force later this month and has now revealed its full plans for the event. If you're attending, you can expect to get your hands on some juicy, unreleased Switch games.
Visiting Nintendo's booths will grant you access to games, competitions, and other fun stuff too, including photo opportunities and challenges to win some Nintendo-branded goodies. The games themselves will be on display for visitors to try out, and include the following:
- Yoshi's Crafted World
- Dragon Quest Builders 2
- Mortal Kombat 11
- Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
- Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
- Assassin's Creed III Remastered
- and a "wide variety of anticipated indie games"
On top of this, the final events for the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate North America Open 2019 and Splatoon 2 North America Inkling Open 2019 both take place on 30th March at the PAX Arena. If you have a PAX East Saturday badge you can attend these for free on a first-come, first-served basis. The tournaments will also be livestreamed on Nintendo's website, so those not attending can tune in from home.
Very limited PAX East tickets are still available if you're interested - grab them here - and the event runs from 28th March to 31st March in the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center at 415 Summer St., Boston, MA 02210. The two Nintendo Switch tournament finals take place on the Saturday which has now completely sold out.
Are you lucky enough to be going to PAX East? Would you like to have a go at any of those games listed above? Let us know which ones you're looking forward to in the comments.

Finally some MK11 footage for the Switch release!
Finally some Mortal Kombat footage. The fact that they're not hiding it until release gives me a bit more hope.
Now let's see what the game actually looks like.
Im still surprised not more people are making a big deal about Hellblade. When it came out on PS4, it was lauded as a game of incredibly impressive graphical achievement. I really want to see it come out on Switch soon.
😡
I don't even want to go to that event.
I have been fed enough about Dragon Quest Builders 2 Japan version from Youtube, so.... time for waiting the USA version on July 2019.
@Anti-Matter it’s optional. You don’t have to go. It’s all up to you.😉
Yoshi is nearly here
@ilikeike As long as it runs at 60FPS, I'm all set.
The date and place of the NA Smash and Splatoon Finals at PAX East when its close to April makes me wary of a Joker tease there.
Like others, looking forward to seeing MK11 but the big draw is definitely gonna be how Hellblade looks on Switch.
@A01 probably high character quality and low environmental quality.
Personally I hope Dragon Quest Builders 2 do well there because I'd really like top see this(and DQXI later after the summer) do well in the west.
Not being established in the west to the same level as Final Fantasy(which is already strongly associated with the playstation) I'd like to see Dragon Quest become Nintendo's unofficially official jRPG franchise because I feel that's where it's aesthetic may well stand the most chance to succeed.
Streets of Rage 4 is gonna be playable at it!

I really hope DQB2 gets more optimizations for its western release because it unfortunately is really rough performing compared to the first one.
Give me a fuzzy MK11 with blurry backgrounds and 60fps. A 30fps fighting game can't exist in 2019 with how pinpoint accurate frame data needs to be tracked. You can do it, NRS!
@JR150
Meh. I'm willing to bet a 30fps fighter would be just dandy in 2019. The difference between 30 and 60 is literally 1/60 of a second. Take a second, splice it up 60 times, and just one of those little micro slices are the difference. Your brain cant even recognize such a difference in time, much less your thumb reaction time.
The uncertainty from the controller input and wireless transmission of signal will far exceed the 1/60 second loss of discrimination.
I'm not saying I think itll be 30fps, cause I actually dont. But if it were, I think it would be just fine. Every single game someone comes out and proclaims it would be "unplayable" in 30fps, and in every single case, the game proves to be an absolute delight in 30fps. I dont think there's a game in existence that couldn't competently function at 30
I look forward to seeing reactions of Hellblade- that is my most anticipated surprise from the direct.
Just because of how bad people were talking about the Assassin's Creed 3 port, I will be very curious to hear if Ubisoft has fixed it at all.
