Nintendo live streaming from Gamescom 2015

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment

Nintendo will be present at Gamescom 2015 next week. At the show, there will be plenty of live streams to check out. It seems like Nintendo will have streams going on August 6, 7, and 8 on its Twitch page here.

I wouldn’t expect too much from this, as we’ll probably just be seeing games like Super Mario Maker and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. Still, it’s a nice thing for Nintendo to do!

Thanks to Shinun for the tip.
