The fun begins on Wednesday 23rd August at 3PM CEST with a look at Super Mario Odyssey presented by producer Yoshiaki Koizumi. The Metro Kingdom and Sand Kingdom – most likely from the same build seen at this year’s E3 – will also be playable on the show floor.

On Thursday 24th August at 12PM CEST, legendary Metroid producer Yoshio Sakamoto, and José Luis Márquez, creative director of Mercury Steam, will discuss the upcoming 3DS release, Metroid: Samus Returns.

Throughout Gamescom there will be additional stage presentations focused on other upcoming Switch and 3DS games, including Fire Emblem Warriors, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. If you can’t make it to Cologne, worry not, the presentations will also be streamed on YouTube.
