Nintendo has some events planned for PAX this year (which is taking place next week btw).

To kick things off before the show starts, Nintendo is bringing back the Nindies@Night event, from 8:30 p.m. to midnight on Aug. 31 at Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle. The event is open to the public and offers a chance for people interested in speaking to developers and checking out unreleased indie games coming to Nintendo Switch. For anyone unable to make it to Nindies@Night at MoPOP, there will be a livestream from the event, including deep dives with developers and a sneak peek at first-ever gameplay.

The indie festivities continue in the Nindie Arcade at PAX West, where Nintendo is bringing upcoming indie games to the convention center on the third floor in room 3B. Stop by to play great games and chat with the developers who created them. The Nindie Arcade hours are noon-9 p.m. Friday to Sunday, and noon-6 p.m. on Monday.

On Saturday, Sept. 2, up to 600 fans can attend a live filming of a Nintendo Minute segment that will be focused on the Metroid: Samus Returns game. The episode will be filmed 10-11 a.m. in the Hydra Theatre Leonesa I-III Ballroom at the Grand Hyatt Seattle hotel. Kit, Krysta and members from the Nintendo Treehouse will show off new gameplay, reveal new game content and feature fan art. They’ll also have exclusive giveaways of collectable Nintendo Power cover-inspired posters for people in attendance, while supplies last.

Games like ARMS, Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe have demonstrated how the Nintendo Switch console is the home of social competitive fun. At PAX West, attendees will be able to play additional competitive games like Pokkén Tournament DX, Rocket League from Psyonix, NBA 2K18 from 2K Games and FIFA 18 from Electronic Arts.

The Nintendo 3DS family of systems will be on hand at the show, and attendees will be able to play some of the new games headed to the system’s already-huge library. Visitors can check out both Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions and Metroid: Samus Returns.

Note that it will be the first time Rocket League and NBA 2K18 will be playable on Switch.

Really looking forward to how both run. I'm definitely grabbing Rocket League. May get NBA 2K18 eventually too, but graphics are too important for me for that one and I don't see me playing handheld that much to justify it. No physical version at release doesn't particularly help either.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Open the floodgates.

Really interested to see how NBA and Rocket League perform... And we need dates on Golf Story and Stardew Valley.

Golf Story was supposed to be a summer release? meh
The only other thing I need is stardew Valley, I'll grab Steamworld Dig 2 on PS4 as it seems to be launching earlier there.
 
Golf Story + Stardew Valley pleeeeassseee. All told though, this is shaping up to be a DOPE first year for this console. My goodness, is Nintendo back..?

No Mario Odyssey has me sad.

Meh, I'm ok with that to be honest. We've seen so much of it now, had so many gameplay demos etc. I don't want any more to be spoilt before launch and I don't really see the point in showing the same segments over and over again.

I've avoided everything, but I still want to play it.
