Nintendo’s Gamescom 2012 absence explained
Nintendo has traditionally been an exhibitor at Gamescom. This year, however, the company has decided not to attend the show.
It still isn’t entirely clear why Nintendo is pretty much skipping out on the expo, but a PR group has provided an explanation – somewhat.
Bergsala PR Manager Patrik Johansson stated:
“Whilst Gamescom is a fantastic show, Nintendo has taken the decision not to attend this year’s event. Instead Nintendo is planning a number of sampling events later this year inline with the European Marketing-, PR- and Event-activities in which Nintendo´s fans will have the opportunity to play upcoming games. Further details will be announced soon.”
