Nintendo plans to introduce some additional games to their Nintendo Switch at the upcoming Pax West gaming event in Seattle, which will run from Sept. 1-4.
Since the release of the newest Nintendo video game console back in March, the lack of supported video games still remains the main reason many gamers stay away from playing Nintendo Switch. But at PAX West, attendees can participate in a lot of activities prepared by the Japanese electronics and video game company, in particular, this includes the introduction of four new and exciting video games.
Four new games
Nintendo of America’s Doug Bowser revealed that the upcoming PAX West event will serve as an avenue to inform the world about their upcoming plans for Nintendo Switch. Aside from multiple events and exciting giveaways for lucky participants, Bowser revealed that they will be bringing their new games.
Attendees will get a chance to play upcoming Nintendo Switch games including “Pokkén Tournament DX” and “Rocket League” which is developed by Psyonix; “NBA 2K18” from 2K Games, and Electronic Arts' “FIFA 18” at the PAX West event ahead of their scheduled release dates.
The night before the PAX West event unfolds, Nintendo will hold the Nindies@Night event. Open to the public, everyone gets to speak with game developers and executives about the latest update on upcoming Nintendo Switch games.
