by

The introduction tour for the Nintendo Switch 2, titled “Welcome to Nintendo Switch 2“, offers a variety of 20 minigames upon its release alongside the console. These games may have similar themes and variations. Additionally, the tour will showcase 14 tech demos designed to help players get acquainted with the new hardware in Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour.

Following years of speculation regarding Nintendo’s successor to the Switch console, the anticipated release of the Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for June 5th. At least 25 games specifically for the Switch 2 will be available at launch, with two innovative in-house titles among them. Although Mario Kart World has generated significant excitement as the highly anticipated first-party title, Nintendo has also created Welcome Tour as an engaging tutorial to familiarize players with the new functionalities of the Switch 2.

To gear up for the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, the Nintendo Today app has unveiled a Japanese introductory trailer showcasing some in-game action from the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. The game’s key features are its 20 minigames and 14 tech demos, but the unique twist is that players will guide mini avatars to navigate through a colossal Nintendo Switch 2 and its accessories, traversing escalators and crossing scaffolding while exploring the city-like structure. Not all content will be accessible from the start, but players can gather medals won from minigames to unlock extra content, as well as finding stamps at designated spots to uncover new areas. The game’s file size is just 2GB, ensuring it doesn’t take up too much space, and players can also test their knowledge about the Nintendo Switch 2 by taking quizzes and searching for 170 hidden secrets.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Features 20 Minigames

Only a select number of minigames have been previewed before the game launch. Some recently unveiled ones demonstrate the use of Switch 2 Joy-Con mouse capabilities, such as one where players gather falling stars while dodging a cascading barrage of spiked balls that drop from above, and another using mouse controls to target and fire at balloons in a three-dimensional setting. Other minigames hinted at in the trailer include utilizing a microscope, navigating a car through an obstructed track, and adjusting a yellow emoticon’s features in a way reminiscent of the Super Mario 64 title screen.

Despite Nintendo continuing to advertise their demo of a feature-rich game, there’s been quite a stir about the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. Contrary to some expectations, participants will have to pay $9.99 to access it, so keep in mind that you’ll need to budget for this if you’re interested in exploring its offerings.
