Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is an adventure game, developed for the Nintendo Switch 2 platform. It was developed by Nintendo and it presents the capabilities and features of the titular console.

Gameplay

In Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour we watch events in an isometric view. During the game, we become a participant in a virtual exhibition, who step by step delves into the technicalities of the Nintendo Switch 2 console, interacting with its gigantic replicas.

Thanks to this, the player and the character controlled by him have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the capabilities of the titular device. We are talking about the functions of specific buttons or options for using Joy-Con as a mouse.

The game also gives us the opportunity to look "under the hood" of the Nintendo Switch 2. Thanks to this, we can check what is hidden under its casing without disassembling the console. This is a chance to learn about many technical details, such as the magnetic system of attaching controllers to the console or the principles of operation of the haptic vibration system.

Switch 2 is almost here, and I think we can all agree it’s definitely worth the hype. But some of Nintendo’s recent decisions? Not so much.

At times, Welcome Tour is Nintendo's Fantasia.

Checkpoint Gaming: 6.5 / 10 by Erielle Sudario

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is exactly what it claims to be: an interactive manual with a few bells and whistles. It's the Wii Sports of the Switch 2 era, helping users understand the console, its features, and how it all fits together. While charging $15 for something that feels like it should've been bundled might be a turnoff, the level of detail and interactivity makes the price somewhat justifiable. It's not a must-have, but if you want a fun way to explore your new console, it's a decent way to spend a few hours. Just don't rush through it; enjoy it for its charm.

Expectations for Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour were low, but somehow the premium tech demo still manages to fall below them.
