Super Mario Party playable for the first time at Gamescom

Everybody is talking about Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu! / Let's Go Eevee! and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as the main drivers of Nintendo Switch sales, but Nintendo has another potential hit in Super Mario Party, as Wii and DS entries came close to 10 million units sold each. Well, if you're someone who's curious about this particular game, there's good news, as Gamescom will see the first public hands-on of the game, as announced by Nintendo of Europe.

Super Mario Party, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, FIFA 19, Dark Souls: Remastered, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Starlink: Battle for Atlas. and Killer Queen Black are the games confirmed for the Nintendo Switch lineup at Gamescom, meaning the press and public will be able to try those from August 21 to August 25 at the Nintendo Booth (Koelnmesse, Hall 9).

For those at home though, Nintendo will host a series of videos on their official YouTube Channel with special guests, including Daemon X Machina producer Kenichiro Tsukuda. The new Pokémon game for Nintendo Switch, however, is not on the list. Not yet.
