Nintendo’s Gamescom 2016 plans and lineup
Nintendo has a few things in store for Gamescom 2016 later this month, aside from playable games. The company has now shared a bit more about its plans.
Pokemon developer Shigeki Morimoto, Splatoon developer Hisashi Nogami, and a developer behind Dragon Quest VII will all be appearing as guests. Tim Feldner is set to moderate the Nintendo houseparty on stage which will feature guests, signing session, live demos, contests, and more.
A select group of fans will be able to try out Zelda: Breath of the Wild at Gamescom. To have a shot at playing the demo, you’ll need to win a spot in the current contest (until August 8 for those in Germany, Austria or Switzerland) or win in the Pokken Tournament, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. or Mario Kart 8 tournament at the Gamescom. Players who are victorious in the tournaments will also receive a trophy.
Gamescom is also tying in with My Nintendo. If you haven’t signed up for the service yet, you can earn 250 Platinum Points. Current members can earn 300 Platinum Points. Points are given at Nintendo’s info booth after you receive a stamp card and complete a set of tasks. Those are as follows:
– Play Mario Party: Star Rush (1st Stamp)
– Play Monster Hunter Generations (2nd Stamp)
– Play two indie games of your choice (3rd & 4th Stamp)
