Noisy game economy the program will be as family-oriented as the locations. For the willing Gamescom visitor, the games on display are unlikely to be appealing as they have already been published. Nintendo Switch Sports, Mario Strikers: Battle League Football and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are on the agenda, as well as the occasional Just Dance 22 and Mario Part Superstars. Participation campaigns, gifts and photo stations should also inspire.
