Nintendo’s controversial E3 came and went, giving dedicated fans a chance to play all the freshly-announced games Nintendo currently has in development. As we were present on the show floor, we got the chance to play the upcoming 3DS Zelda title, Tri Force Heroes, and form some first impressions. Many fans, however, did not have the chance to give the title a try, especially those living outside the United States.

This is set to change with some recent good news for our European readers who were able to book tickets for gamescom in Cologne this year. Nintendo has revealed that Tri Force Heroes will be on the show floor amongst other great titles. This will provide a great opportunity for European fans who couldn’t get to E3 in Los Angeles to play some of the titles announced at this year’s Digital Event, and a few other popular recent releases.

Sadly, the news arrives a tad late as all day tickets for private gamescom visitors are sold out. As such, if you live in or around Germany and still want a chance to play Tri Force Heroes, your only option is arriving without a ticket and praying that the box office afternoon tickets are still available. Best of luck!
