Opening Night Live for the overseas gaming event “gamescom 2026” kicked off at 2:30 AM Japan time, and comments poured into the live-reaction thread on the Hardware/Industry board throughout the show. While the Onimusha demo expansion and Xbox’s exclusive title announcements became hot topics, there were also complaints about the lack of notable titles early on, and some pointed out that Chinese games seem to be gaining more of a presence.
The pre-show starts at 2:30, so why is everything so slow — the thread, Famitsu's simulcast, all of it?
Is our resident Nintendo fanboy ("nishi-kun") actually in Germany right now?

Of course I am, Game Boy! We are pure-blood Germans, yes★ (´・ω・`)ｖ

I hope we get more news on Judas.
Last year's closer was the new Black Myth game — wonder what it'll be this year.

Isn't there some rumor about an unannounced big title getting revealed?
If not, I'm going to bed.

Judas is the only thing keeping me alive right now.
If you're expecting anything from Nintendo, this gamescom might be the last chance.
It's rare for gamescom to run an opening show like this.
This is gonna be wall-to-wall games Nintendo fans can't even play.
This is gonna run for two whole hours?
Starting to feel like a waste of time.

Nothing but games with zero hook coming out one after another.
Amazing cinematic trailer followed by lame in-game footage.
Wait lol, this is happening today? lol (´・ω・`)
People actually watch gamescom!?
Still light-headed from the bath, but might as well watch since I'm up (´・ω・`)
Thought this looked like a kiddie game, and sure enough it's coming to Switch 2 too.

Well, Onimusha's kind of a kiddie game too.

Switch 2 multiplatform titles keep coming up, but I don't even feel like trolling the PlayStation fanboys ("goki") about it (´・ω・`)
No idea about the rest, but Nintendo's probably saving stuff for a Direct in September, so don't expect much here.

Ha, so the Nintendo fanboy really isn't interested in third-party games after all.

Wish it were a Switch 2 exclusive.

A Chinese mobile game right off the bat? Stop, that's hilarious.
I thought this genre was already a red ocean — guess not?
Not sure if it's a national policy thing, but Chinese companies are avoiding TGS,
so there's talk that gamescom might turn into a festival of Chinese games.
