Nintendo To Present Slew of Playable Titles at PAX East
With PAX East around the corner, Nintendo is planning on being best in show with its Switch. From April 5th to April 8th at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, the house that Miyamoto built will present a large lineup of highly anticipated titles like DARK SOULS: REMASTERED and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, many of which will playable for the very first time.
Outside of tentpole releases like DARK SOULS, PAX East attendees will experience titles like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido, and Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition.
Nindies, Nintendo’s library of indie games, will also get some floor space to show off the latest and greatest in independent development for the Switch. Some titles playable for the very first time on the hardware include Dead Cells, West of Loathing and LUMINES REMASTERED. Accompanying the many Nindies will be their developers themselves to talk about the game live with visitors.
This strong showing out of Nintendo demonstrates its commitment to the Switch in an effort to not continue being successful but to also stay connected with its dedicated and growing fanbase.
