Nintendo Announces Switch 2 Welcome Tour, A Paid Game That Explains The New Console Features

During the Nintendo Switch 2 presentation, it was announced that there’s a game called “Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour,” which is exclusive to digital platforms and takes place on an expanded Nintendo Switch 2 console. This game will be available for purchase starting June 5, coinciding with the launch date of the Nintendo Switch 2.

As I traverse across this colossal Nintendo Switch 2, I find myself exploring its surface, encountering tiny info signs detailing the console’s intriguing aspects. Along the way, I engage in mini-games designed to highlight the console’s unique features – for instance, a golf match that showcases the mouse control functionality, and another where I shake virtual maracas, demonstrating interactive demos at work. These informative signs not only explain what each feature does but also visually demonstrate their application in action.

From the trailer, it’s uncertain how immersive or extensive these mini-games and tech demonstrations will be. However, it appears that there are several distinct games showcased. These games seem to utilize both the innovative mouse controls and motion controls, with the separate Joy-Cons serving as controllers.

As a gamer, I’m excited to share that along with the minigames and tech demos, there will be interactive quizzes in the game. These quizzes are designed to test if I’ve absorbed any of the info from those in-game kiosks we’ve encountered. Regarding the Switch 2 Welcome Tour, no pricing details were revealed during the Direct, but it was emphasized that the game is a paid title and can only be obtained digitally.
