Overview

• The Nintendo Switch2 console launched June 5 with enhanced Joy-Con mouse support, Rumble2 feedback and new social features.
• Nintendo offers Welcome Tour as a standalone $10 interactive guide that uses mini-games to showcase the Switch2’s internal components and controls.
• Reviewers highlight educational puzzles and nostalgic moments but note that many challenges feel more like homework than entertainment.
• Critics question the value of a paid tech demo when similar showcases like PlayStation’s Astro’s Playroom are bundled for free.
• Accessory requirements such as a USB camera, Switch2 Pro Controller buttons and a 4K-compatible TV limit full completion and add to overall cost.
