Nintendo has a knack for crafting games that highlight the innovative aspects of their gaming systems. Classics such as Wii Sports, Nintendo Land, and 1-2-Switch have demonstrated this talent perfectly. Now, with the Switch 2, Nintendo introduces the aptly named “Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour.” In this game, your miniature avatar will dash around a colossal Switch 2 console, uncovering its features and secrets through lively minigames and tech demonstrations.
You might expect such a game to come complimentary with the console, but Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour will actually be a paid, digital-only offering. This price tag suggests the game might be more intricate and entertaining than anticipated. To sweeten the deal, it will be ready for download right from the launch of the console.
Among the standout minigames is a top-down golf putting experience that cleverly utilizes the Joy-Con 2’s mouse and gyroscope features, allowing you to slide the controller across a surface as if it were the head of a golf club. Another intriguing aspect of the game explores the console’s 3D audio technology. As your avatar navigates the Switch 2, they can click on question marks to reveal fascinating facts, like the mechanics behind the Joy-Con 2’s magnetic attachment system.
