UPDATE 2.50pm UK: "Nintendo UK has now confirmed to Eurogamer it will not be present at this summer’s Gamescom. The company’s statement is below:
“Gamescom is a great event, and each year we evaluate whether Nintendo should participate or not,” a Nintendo UK spokesperson told Eurogamer. “After careful consideration from all perspectives, we’ve made the decision not to be present at gamescom 2024. Players will have opportunities to try out Nintendo Switch games at other events throughout the year.”
It’s been a while since I attended Gamescom. But I can completely understand why they are dodging the Gamescom. Only the announcement of a complete new Zelda or 3D Mario could be interesting but everyone is waiting for news regarding Switch 2.
That saves us from all the rumours of Switch 2 getting announced at Gamescom this year.
Nintendo exec goes to the bathroom
Youtubers: ArE yOu AnNoUnCiNg ThE sWiTcH 2 In HeRe?
Nintendo is asshoe anyway. Nobodi like nintendoofus.
Is the “nintendo” community not about Nintendo??? Why would i go to another community that is unrelated to nintendo, to complain about the disgusting and destructive company that Nintendo is?
Same with them but they are not nearly as well known for their scummy behaviour and going after harmless projects.
Aside from hyper-aggressive protection of their IP to try to stop piracy, I legit can’t think of any scummy behavior Nintendo does that other game companies don’t do at either an equal or worse level. That includes MS and Sony.
EDIT: Further, emulation of a current-gen console may technically be legal depending on how you do it, but it’s not harmless. Some can/will use it in an essentially harmless way, but you and I know that the vast majority of users will use it to enable piracy.
fuck nintendo. i should probably leave this community as i doubt ill give nintendo another dollar of my money.
You are free to do so, you are also free to still consume Nintendo media without paying the company.
Buy used, and mod your consoles.
What does Nintendo and me have in common?
We suck ass
