Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour announced for Switch 2

By Jack Taylor – 2 April 2025

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, a collection of tech demos and minigames, will launch alongside the new console.

Revealed during the Switch 2's Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is described as a "virtual exhibition" showing off the features and minute details of the new system. It features information about the console itself and the Joy-Con 2 controllers, such as how the magnetic connection between the two works.

It also features a selection of tech demos and minigames, such as using the Joy-Con 2's mouse controls and gyro in tandem to guide a golf ball into a hole, and a physics demo using maracas to experience the new HD Rumble 2 vibrations.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a paid digital title that will be available from Nintendo eShop on launch day (5 June). While the price has not yet been confirmed in most regions, in Japan, it will cost 990 yen (approximately $7 USD or £5 GBP) to purchase.
