Nintendo to return to PAX Australia 2025 with Metroid, Kirby, Pokémon and more
Play some unreleased games.
Update 8/10: There will also be some bonuses for purchases made at the My Nintendo Store during PAX Aus 2025. If you buy anything from the store, you’ll receive an exclusive set of four A2 posters featuring artwork from Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Mario Kart World, and Kirby Air Riders.
There’s also a bonus if you buy the digital version of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. If you purchase a digital code at the event, you’ll receive a set of five postcards — the game may be digital, but the postcards are real.

Original Story: After taking a year off, Nintendo will return to PAX Australia in 2025 — and this time they actually have something new to show. It’s the Switch 2, along with a range of games that won’t yet be released at the time of the event.
- Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
- Kirby Air Riders
- Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
- Mario Kart World
There will also be a Mario Kart World Knockout Tour competition running. Everyone will receive a prize just for participating, but those who take 1st place in their rally will be eligible to compete in a final daily Knockout Tour race for a prize.
Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades II, and other third party titles will also be playable on the Switch 2. Nintendo also says they’ll have giveaways including pins, keychains, posters and more. The My Nintendo Store will also be available in real life.
PAX Aus 2025 takes place on October 10th, 11th, and 12th at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre — you guessed it, in Melbourne. At the time of writing, only Friday and Sunday badges remain.
