Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour
Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a 2025 video game developed by Nintendo EPD and Nintendo Cube and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch 2. Released worldwide on June 5, 2025, as a launch title for the console, it is only available digitally on the Nintendo eShop.
As an introduction to the Nintendo Switch 2 system, Welcome Tour consists of 170 trivia questions and quizzes, 20 minigames, and 14 tech demos that showcase the console's different features and design in a virtual exhibition setting resembling the console.
The game was controversial upon announcement and had a mixed critical reception upon release, primarily due to it being priced and sold separately rather than being bundled as a pack-in with the console.
The game is essentially a "digital gallery" of small minigames, each designed to demonstrate certain functions of the system. There are four main activities, namely the following, collecting stamps at podiums that mark each point of interest on the accessory the player is on, tech demos that show off a feature of the Switch 2, minigames with a high-score system, and information desks that teaches the player about a certain part of the console followed by a quiz at the end of each.
As the player progresses, the player earns medals, and a checklist displays how many they have left to collect.
The game also features challenges that require a USB webcam, the GL/GR buttons found on the Charging Grip or Pro Controller, and a ultra-high-definition television. The missions can be skipped, but completing them with the accessories is needed to obtain a gold medal.
Welcome Tour was announced on April 2, 2025, in a Nintendo Direct focused on the Nintendo Switch 2. The title became controversial when it was announced that the game would be paid rather than a pack-in title, costing $9.99USD or $14.99CAD. Many consumers and journalists believed the game should have been free with the console, drawing negative comparisons to Wii Sports for the Wii. Reggie-Fils-Aime, former president of Nintendo of America, also seemingly criticized the decision after discussing the importance of pack-in titles.
The title was released on June 5, 2025, the same day as the Nintendo Switch 2, via the Nintendo eShop.
