Round Up: Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 - Every Switch 1 & 2 Announcement & Trailer

Extremely excited for Lego Batman and Indy!!!

WTH! Bubsy 4D isn't an option in the poll...

There is NO games I like from the list above, even the new Sonic Racing that I already felt turned off with crazy crossover idea.
I'm not gamer playing stuffs like the list above.

Daemon X Machina looks absolutely awesome. So I voted for that. Might try the demo soon!

I played Outlaws soooo much as a kid.

Nice to see Nintendo was actually included today

Absolum looks great, definitely looking forward to that one.

Dang I thought it was just people trolling that the pre-show had the games. They were kinda right.

Nice to see the Switch 2 get some announcements from these shows.

Indy will be mine and Pac Man World 2, as well. Daemon X Machina also looks interesting and same with Bubsy.

Well, I was interested in Kirby Air Riders for a good few hours, anyways.

Pac-Man and the ghosts being playable in Sonic Racing Crossworlds has me so freakin excited! For years, I've been wanting a new Pac-Man racing game, or for him to be added to a mainline Mario Kart since he used to be in the arcade games. This is the next best thing. Plus, there's also gonna be Avatar DLC, which is my favorite show of all time. I can't believe this sick, perverted joke of a timeline we're living in where I'm actually more excited about a Sonic racing game than Mario Kart. I kinda hope we get more waves of DLC beyond this season pass.

And having an incredibly ambitious-looking Sonic level in Pac-Man World 2? That's so cool!! Pac-Man World 2 is my childhood, so I was already excited when they announced not only the remake, but that the game would be getting additional new crossover content. I thought it was just gonna be other Namco properties like a Katamari or Klonoa level, but this opens up so many new possibilities.

Man, I love that yellow circle. I'd take a bullet for him.

Ok MS. I don’t like Indy but I heard the game was decent (no longer have gamepass) and I want future support so day 1 it is. (And ports I care about)

As for games I actually care about, probably He-Man on deep discount (I watched the 2003 show) and DxM. I would pay a silly amount of money for a She-Ra and the princesses of power game. (Netossa is my Lady!)

Some really good announcements. I'm pretty excited by several of these reveals.

Nice selection, not really anything for me (though that's probably a blessing in disguise since there are so many other games I want to play), but hopefully these games make a lot of people happy!

Not sure how I feel about the Pac-Man X Sonic collaborations.

On the one hand, the Sonic stuff in Pac-Man World 2 looks nice and looks like those Nintendo levels in Sonic Lost World. But the Pac-Man stuff in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is directly interferring with what has been advertised as a Sonic & SEGA crossover racing game. But then again, that Nick stuff and Minecraft already broke what the game was supposed to be.

I completely forgot Gamescom is this week; I'm in the middle of a VERY busy month lol. I appreciate the roundup and hope for more announcements soon!

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will definitely be a D1 buy for me, especially if we can have it physical and LRG keeps its hands off it.

He-Man's game has given me some strong Golden Axe vibes, especially at 0:29 of the video. I like it, but I won't buy it physical as LRG is already on it.

Great to see Indy coming, that’s one down on my wish list for Switch 2!

"Absolum, Absolum, Absolum!"

• Geddy Lee, "Distant Early Warning"

He-Man looks like it should be fun and I'm correct age for it to trigger nostalgia.
Its good to start to get announcements for more Switch 2 games like Indy & Lego Batman.

Grey and brown shooting games after grey and brown shooting game in the main presentation :-/ Boring... Needs more indie games to break it up. Thank god for Kirby, Pac-Man, Sonic and BUBSY for giving us some colour and joy today!

Indy I will take. Might even shift stuff back to the OG to make space if I need to. That and Crossworlds, but we know the latter is true physical.

Everyone seems so excited about Indy. I played it on gamepass, and sadly it bored me to tears, gave up about 7 or 8 hours in. Chronos is the only one of this list that I am fairly stoked for. Batman might be fun as well, but that's a fair while away.

Downloading the demo for Daemon X Machina to see what that's all about.

As for Indy, ill need to see specs before I dip into that. Im leaning towards the Xbox Play Anywhere purchase so I can play it on the ROG Ally X, but I heard performance wasn't too good at launch.

Excited for Lego Batman, Indy and He-Man!

Pretty meh. Not much gameplay and most of it looks like expensive AAA slop.

@pyspud can you imagine having He-Man amiibos? They'd run out in no time!

Indiana Jones is awesome, but I have it on Game Pass and likely won't be picking it up for Switch 2. But it's cool that it's an option.

I've always been a fan of Indiana Jones, so I CAN'T WAIT! 😄🤎

@AlanaHagues

Bubsy 4D (Switch 1 & 2) is missing in the poll: "What was your favourite Switch 1 / 2 announcement or trailer at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025?"

Not that special. I chose the Sonic Pac-man collab.
Indiana Jones is overrated, completed it already on Xbox and wasted a lot of time.
Cronos could be nice, but I wouldn't buy it on Switch 2.

I played Indy on PC and it’s okay, just okay. I recommend you wait for a sale on that one.

Not too excited for any of these. Starting to think there's a Geoff K curse, the more he's involved the less I'm interested. When did he start being around? Made need to research that. Is it's his fault Sony went all in on live service GaaS? 😩

Anyway I voted for Indy on Switch 2 b/c I think it might be 1 of the few next gen games on Switch 2, giving hope going forward. OK sure MKW, DKB and Kirby Air Ride are all technically "next gen only" but none of them look like Indy. Now there may only be a handful of 3rd party next gen only games out there, MS kept X One alive for awhile, but it's still a win.

Best reveal of the day today for me was Danshattack but I suppose it isn't coming to Switch 2 if it isn't here. Too bad,looks fun, and Switch 2 can probably run it. Maybe it will get a late port.🤷‍♂️

It's encouraging that visually demanding games like the Lucasfilm properties are making it to Switch 2, even if they are compromised compared to other platforms. It means anything that's not pushing the other consoles to their limits has a decent chance of being ported over mostly intact. If the average port gets away with just a 30 fps cap and DLSS to keep resolution in the HD range (and puts out a proper physical version) then I'll be more than content.

It's a tie between Indiana Jones and the Outlaws remaster by Nightdive Studios. Indie looks like a fun game, but my current PC can't run it, and I don't have a PS5 or Xbox Series, so if the Switch 2 is good, I'm in. As of Outlaws, I always wanted to play it, and Nightdive has a really good track record at remastering games.

Lego Batman is about the only thing I’m excited for. Of the games that are already in the wild for other platforms, I’ve played all the ones I care about on either PC or Steam Deck (like Indiana Jones). I’ve been screaming for Silksong for so long that the name just leaves a bad taste in my mouth at this point. Oh and He-Man looks phenomenal.

Wow, batman looks so slick! Can't wait to grab that, i always enjoy the Lego batman games.

And he-man. Holy smokes!

Indiana Jones!! Fantastic. I’d been hoping for that one.

New Lego Batman looks AMAZING 🤩 silksong is skonging as usual, bubsy 4d looks like the best game ever, I’ll consider Indiana jones if it’s a good port and im excited to try out daemon x machina later today!

Boo! No monster hunter switch 2 announced port or new!

@SirLink ++ Well considering the size, of Indy this will be a game Key , i have the game on Series X and it ways in about 119 gb.

Even the PS5 disc was just a key for a download and that disc could have held the game.
Doubt there gonna ship on two cartridges and to compress that much i think is impossible.

Bubsy team erasing the embarrassing legacy of the IP seems like a fool's errand. But....why not. Let's see what they came up with.

He-Man looks super cool.

Really hyped with Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion; I played the first game years ago (so good).

He-Man: Dragon Pearl of Destruction and LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight looks really good.

Outlaws, He-Man, Pac-Man World 2, Silk Song, Daemon X Machina 2

Lego Batman and Indy is good News for me 😊 Sonic racing im not so sure about anymore, think ill have to see some gameplay vids after release.

Indiana Jones and The Impressive Geometric Shape (what an awful title) would interest me, but…

So, Bats just had to slip the Joker a pistachio and he could've avoided all troubles with him.
Looks fun and I am kinda obsessed with Batman

Grew up watching og He-Man (on Sky, I believe?), so that one is a must for me. Same for Indy, my childhood hero. I was hoping it would come to Switch 2 (the only system I own), so very glad with that one. And Absolum, because I played SoR4 to death, but we knew about that one already.

@KITG_GROUP sounds like we're gonna need a new sd express just for it then... So the new cartridge format isn't just expensive but also useless lol

Did Gamescom just put up a more exciting show than the Nintendo Partner Direct?

Indiana Jones is an amazing game! Don’t let the first-person aspect deter you. It’s like the best Indiana Jones since The Last Crusade.

The only thing that may deter people is that it is primarily stealth-based - but it does leave some room for more action-focused players. The exploration, puzzles, and story-telling are simply top-notch.

I’ll be very interested to see how the Switch 2 version stacks up - especially since the game requires ray-tracing capabilities (though the implementation used in Id Tech is incredibly performant).

He man, Bubsy, Daemon X Machina, lego batman, cool about time some good games get a switch 2 release 😀

MASSIVE Indiana Jones fan here, and it's been killing me that I only have a Switch 2 — until now! Day one purchase.

I remember pirating Outlaws back in the early 2000s and having a right game trying to get it to run even in Windows XP. Another awesome Nightdive re release? Yes please! He Man looks cool too. Obviously Indy is a cool one but not convinced it'll run great, it wasn't perfect on Series S. Doubt I'd pick that up, but at least it means big AAA titles are coming to Switch 2. Now where is Fallout 3 and the Mass Effect trilogy...?

I'm not a big fan of LEGO games, but I just finished a replay of the Arkham trilogy and seeing the new Batman LEGO game take some inspiration from them actually has me a bit excited for it.

@SirLink these games from Xbox are huge in size. I had to buy a Xbox expansion card to get Indiana on my xbox . 1TB cost me £120
