We know — Gamescom hasn't even started yet and we're already looking ahead to the next gaming convention, PAX West 2024. With Nintendo in attendance, fans have been looking forward to seeing what the Big N is bringing to the show.
And now, Nintendo has confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Super Mario Party Jamboree will be playable at the show in Seattle. This will be the first playable public demo for both of these games, which were announced at the June 2024 Nintendo Direct.
If you're heading to PAX West — which takes place between 30th August and 2nd September — and you want to check out Zelda's adventure, or just have a party with some friends and Mario, then you'll simply need to seek out the Nintendo booth, which is in the main hall at booth 1939.
Other titles that will be playable at Nintendo's station are the recently released Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition and Star Wars: Hunters, both of which are open for competitive play.
So, with two new titles for fans to check out, we have a feeling Nintendo will be pretty busy at PAX West this year. Last year, we had a chance to check out Super Mario Bros. Wonder at the show, so it's good to see the developer is bringing even more of its big stuff to PAX. Particularly with Nintendo skipping out on Gamescom.
Are you heading to PAX West this year? Will you be trying to play Echoes of Wisdom or Mario Party at the show? Let us know in the comments.

interesting…hopefully this means more jamboree news before spetember! also surprsied they arent showing off emio or brothership
@OctolingKing13 is an Emio showcase necessary when they just released a demo the eshop?
You make a good point about Brotherhood tho.
Too bad that Mario Party Jamboree is just in the article’s sub-title and not the title itself.
I think the article title should include both games since it’s pretty important that these two games are going to be playable there? If anything Mario Party should be prioritized because that’s even further away and we know less about that game!
@AlanaHagues Not to nitpick, but the article says “30th August and 2nd September” (the 3 wasn’t bolded but the rest of it was)
Nice, happy for those who'll be able to attend and play them, I'm so looking forward to both these games!
Wish I didn't have to fly to either coast to actually go to a PAX event. The irony is I actually wasn't too far from Seattle earlier this summer....
@PikminMarioKirby I am looking forward to both games.
But even if Jamboree ends up selling better in the end, following the franchise expected levels, you have to admit that the gaming hype for Echoes of Wisdom is just a lot higher.
COD sold better than TOTK in 2023 to give some kind of paralell, but the hype for the second was miles higher in the gaming community.
I think personally, that it makes sense that attendees feel more excited for Echoes of Wisdom to be playable there, specially because it is just around the corner when the hype is at it's highest.
@TheExile285 i thought about emio just because i think they want to promote it as much as possible, and want it to be a million seller. im honestly kinda shocked that Nintendo World Championships will be showcased.
So excited for Echoes of Wisdom to release! Unfortunately won’t be able to try the demo thing, but the release day is coming!
Ooooooo I'd love to try me some Jamboree!
...shame I'm a few thousand miles away
If it will be playable, that makes me think a Nintendo Direct might take place before then.
They haven't shown that much of the game, and having info be leaked by demo players before Nintendo has shown off much officially doesn't seem like their MO.
Well its better than what they had at PAX East, which was no joke, one video game. The Pokemon Scarlet/VIolet DLC. That was already out.
Hey, look, a chance for people to see how the game is instead of automatically assuming its quality.
I hate people who jump to conclusions.
Oh Seattle...slightly too far of a walk from here.
