Attendees to the Nintendo booth in the Arch Building Expo Hall will be met with magic, adventure and a healthy dose of friendly competition:
Play as Princess Zelda in this preview of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom game for the Nintendo Switch family of systems. In this brand-new adventure, Zelda must use her wisdom to solve the mystery of strange rifts that have appeared and stolen away citizens of Hyrule – including a certain heroic swordsman! Zelda teams up with the ethereal creature Tri and uses the Tri Rod to create “echoes” – imitations of objects and creatures found within the environment that she can use to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. This new adventure in the Legend of Zelda series launches on Sept. 26!
Of course, it wouldn’t be a party without Mario and friends! Nintendo will also be showcasing the upcoming Super Mario Party Jamboree game – and it is the biggest Mario Party game yet! Loaded with more than 110 minigames, Super Mario Party Jamboree keeps the party going. Stop by and sample some of the minigames to prepare for when the full game launches on Oct. 17!
Attendees will also get the chance to face-off in the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition game and answer some vitally important questions about themselves and their fellow competitors such as: “Can I get the first mushroom in Super Mario Bros. in under 5 seconds?” or “Which one of us has hidden Excitebike skills?”
And finally – don’t be alarmed if you feel a disturbance in the Force! Visitors to the Nintendo booth will be practicing their Wookiee victory roars with STAR WARS: Hunters! Enter the arena in this fast-paced multiplayer** throwdown set in the deepest reaches of the Star Wars universe.
We can’t wait to celebrate PAX West 2024 and look forward to sharing new adventures, new party games and new ways to earn bragging rights. For more information on this event, please visit: https://west.paxsite.com/
We hope to see you there!
