Namco Bandai has announced its line-up of games that will be on show during next week’s Gamescom.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Tank! Tank! Tank!, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, Tales of Graces f, One Piece: Pirate Warriors and Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition, will all be at the show and playable to the public, while a seated theatre will be on hand to demonstrate a scene from next year’s sci-fi co-op adventure Star Trek.

Though Nintendo won’t be attending the show itself, the inclusion of Tank! Tank! Tank! in Namco Bandai’s hands-on line-up offers visitors the chance to try out the upcoming Wii U in advance of its release later this year.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2, however, which is also due for release on Wii U, will only be playable on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

If you’re heading along, you can check out Namco Bandai’s line-up at Stand C11 in Hall 9.

Gamescom 2012 opens to the public next Thursday, August 16.
