We don't have direct confirmation of this issue, so it remains a rumor for now, but according to some sources, Gamescom 2024 want Removed the “Best Nintendo Switch Game” category Due to its official awards Lack of titles Candidates for the Nintendo console.
This information is reported by the site TheGamer Organizers At Gamescom 2024, this really seems to be the decision made by the organization that manages the largest European gaming exhibition.
Usually, as is the case with other video game-related events, Gamescom also holds an internal awards ceremony each year for the best games available during the event, but in this case there was no Best Games for Nintendo Switch category.
There are very few Nintendo Switch games at the event
In fact, the announced candidates for the Gamescom 2024 Awards lack the usual Nintendo Switch games genre.
This clearly shows that something has changed this year, and the lack of candidates seems to be the reason.
According to a statement given to TheGamer by the organizers of Gamescom 2024, “There were too few titles to choose from this year's Best Nintendo Switch Games category. Therefore, the commission decided to cancel the category”.
While we wait to learn this year's winners, we're taking note of this decision from Gamescom 2024, which is perhaps understandable considering that the Nintendo Switch is heading towards the end of its life cycle.
There's no shortage of new games for the Nintendo console, but the company's decision not to attend the event further reduced the number of potential candidates for the awards, leading to this situation.
