Nintendo Switch 2 Hands-On Events: What You Need to Know
The excitement surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 has officially escalated, as the company announces a series of exclusive hands-on events for gamers eager to try out the new console. While the release date remains under wraps, select locations across North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia will host experiences where lucky fans can test this highly anticipated device starting April 4 and continuing through June.
Event Registration Details
Beginning January 17 at 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT until January 26 at 11:59 PM local time for each event city, individuals can register for a “Nintendo Switch 2 Experience.” To be eligible for registration, participants must be at least 18 years old and possess either an individual Nintendo Account or belong to a Family Group account if visiting with others. Notably, there’s no need for a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership. Younger family members (under six) can join as long as they are accompanied by an adult with an account.
The interactive experience is expected to last approximately two hours and twenty minutes; however, Nintendo has kept details about specific activities under wraps—could it involve iconic games like Mario Kart? Time will tell!
Selection Process Warning
It’s crucial for those interested in attending to note that registering does not ensure participation. The selection process operates on a drawing system; thus attendees will be chosen randomly rather than first-come-first-served. Signing up early won’t increase your likelihood of securing admission.
