Jun 07, 2025 1:20 AM

Pro
  • Interactive exploration of console features
  • Fun tech demos and mini-games
  • Low price point for a niche audience

Con
  • Feels more like an interactive manual than a game
  • Limited replay value and engagement
  • Many users expected it to be a free pack-in experience

Review

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour offers an intriguing yet imperfect journey into the inner workings of the new console. While it provides interactive exploration and fun mini-games, many find the experience lacking in terms of actual gameplay. For enthusiasts eager to learn more about their console, there are certainly insights to be discovered, but this experience often feels like it’s more suited as a free demo rather than a paid title. With its low price point, it is accessible for those genuinely curious, but be aware it may not hold appeal for the broader gaming audience.

Background information

Reviews range from sentiments that the experience is informative yet somewhat lackluster to reminders that this should have been a free offering rather than a standalone purchase. While some players appreciate the content for its price, others express disappointment that it doesn’t measure up to the fun and engaging experiences offered in other launch titles.
