PAX West 2025 will start in the final days of August, and we here at The Outerhaven will be covering it as best we can. Previously, we wrote about all the developers and publishers that’ll be at the event, but now, we have a few more details to share with you. As noted by Insider Stealth, Nintendo will have the biggest booth space at the show. In fact, they actually have two slots on the show floor! You can check it out below to see what we mean.

The obvious question is, “Why does Nintendo need all that space?” The simple answer is that this means they want a lot of room to show off the Switch 2 and the games you can play for it. At present, as Stealth states, we don’t know what demos will be available, but it’s fair to think they’ll have plenty for games that have already come out, like Donkey Kong Bananza (read my review!), as well as games that are going to come out soon enough, like Pokemon Legends Z-A.
Since this is basically on The Big N’s home turf here in the US, it makes sense for them to go all out, especially since the United States has been big in helping the Switch 2 set sales records since its launch in June. It behooves them to get people playing it at every opportunity; that way, if gamers don’t have the console yet, they’ll be inclined to at their earliest convenience.
