The Gaming Setup That Stole Our Hearts: Nintendo Switch Stations
Walking into Cyberzone Tech Fair 2025 felt like stepping into gaming heaven, but the Nintendo Switch demo stations were absolutely magnetic. Watching kids and adults alike lose themselves in Mario Kart tournaments while parents secretly plotted their own gaming sessions was pure joy. The collaboration with Nintendo showcased everything from the latest Switch games to hands-on experiences with gaming desktop computers, making it impossible to walk by without getting pulled into “just one more race.”
Why We Loved It: The communal gaming experience brought families together in ways that reminded us why gaming is so special in Filipino culture.
The Booth That Made Us Feel Like Pros: Republic of Gamers (ROG)
ROG’s presence at the Cyberzone Tech Fair 2025 was nothing short of spectacular, showcasing their latest offerings for gamers and tech enthusiasts alongside other major brands like PC Express, PLDT, SteelSeries, and DataBlitz. Their setup featured premium gaming rigs that made even casual gamers feel like esports legends. The RGB lighting alone was worth the visit, but getting hands-on time with their latest laptops and peripherals was the real treat.
The Standout: Those buttery-smooth 144Hz displays paired with mechanical keyboards that clicked like music to our ears.
The Retro Corner That Hit All The Feels
Nothing prepared us for the emotional journey of seeing retro gaming consoles on display, letting younger fans experience the classics that shaped gaming history. From original Game Boys to classic arcade cabinets, this corner was a masterclass in gaming nostalgia. Watching Gen Z kids discover the magic of Tetris for the first time while millennials shared stories of their childhood favorites created some genuinely heartwarming moments.
The Magic Moment: Three generations playing Pac-Man together, with grandparents teaching grandkids the optimal ghost-dodging strategies.
The Deal That Broke The Internet: Cyberzone Gadget Craze
Let’s be real—the Cyberzone Gadget Craze was the star of the show. For every PHP 1,000 spent, shoppers got a chance to win over 40 prizes, including iPhones, gaming laptops, a PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and iPads. The fact that you could participate through SM Malls Online made it even more accessible, and the prize pool was absolutely insane.

The Demo That Impressed: Live mobile gaming tournaments with zero lag, proving that reliable internet is the backbone of today’s digital experiences.
The Community Hub: Gamers’ Round Table
The Gamers’ Round Table concept was brilliant—a dedicated space right in the middle of the arena where players, creators, and insiders could connect and discuss gaming culture while also serving as a free-play area. This wasn’t just about showcasing products; it was about building community, sharing stories, and creating connections that extend far beyond the fair.
The Vibe: Part coffee shop, part gaming lounge, part networking event—exactly what the Filipino gaming community needed.
The Visual Spectacle: Large LED Screens Everywhere

The Experience: Imagine walking through the mall with epic gaming battles playing out on screens above you—it felt like living in the future.
The Surprise Hit: Trading Card Tournaments
The Geek+Pop areas featuring trading card duels for One Piece: The Card Game, Pokémon, and Magic: The Gathering proved that analog gaming still has a massive following in the digital age. The 64-player minimum tournaments created an incredibly competitive atmosphere that rivals any digital esports event.
The Atmosphere: The intense concentration, strategic whispers, and celebratory cheers reminded us that gaming comes in all forms.
The Tech Showcase That Dazzled: EVNIA and AGON Displays
The premium display technology from EVNIA and AGON provided some of the most stunning visual experiences at the fair. These weren’t just monitors—they were windows into what gaming and content creation could look like with the right hardware. The color accuracy and refresh rates left everyone who tried them completely spoiled for regular displays.
