Nintendo and Capcom are both officially at PAX WEST, a convention from August 30 through September 2 for the Labor Day weekend. PAX WEST takes place at the Seattle Convention Center, for those who want to attend.
Not only has Nintendo been officially confirmed for PAX WEST, but Capcom will be celebrating PAX’s 20th birthday with the first North American hands-on demo for Monster Hunter Wilds. In addition to a hands-on demo of Monster Hunter Wilds, fans will also get to participate in a hands-on demo of the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, as well as the first North American hands-on for Street Fighter 6’s new character, Terry Bogard.
In addition to Capcom’s hands-on demos, avid Street Fighter 6 fans will be able to participate in a tournament in the PAX Arena.
PAX has seen many huge announcements throughout the years, with PAX EAST showcasing the second DLC for Final Fantasy XVI. There is the potential for some really big announcements at PAX WEST.
PAX WEST has a packed line-up of exhibitors, with Nintendo being the latest to join the crowd. Studios such as Larian Studios, Capcom, Atari, and Bandai Namco are some of the biggest to join the exhibitors, with smaller indie studios such as Aggro Crab Games, Finji, and Serenity Forge also showcasing their talents in the exhibitor’s hall.
The official schedule for PAX WEST has been uploaded to the website, revealing what attendees can expect throughout their days at the convention. This includes events such as learning how to play Dungeons and Dragons, Crash Bandicoot 4 speedruns, plenty of tabletop events, and the ability to get autographs and photos with well-known voice actors.
At the moment, we don’t know what games Nintendo plans to showcase at PAX WEST, but it is possible that attendees will see more of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. The Nintendo World Championships event will also take place at 8 PM on the first day of the convention.
In addition to in-person events, there will also be plenty of live streams over the PAX Twitch channels, where people can catch special announcements, panels, and any of the PAX Arena tournaments. There are four channels for PAX, giving people who aren’t attending plenty of information despite not being able to attend in person.
The full weekend ticket is $250, with day tickets at $66. However, tickets are running out. So, if you want to go to PAX WEST and see what Nintendo plans to showcase at the convention, make sure to snap up a ticket while you still can.
