The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to go on tour from 4 April 2025, with fans around the world getting their first glimpses during the official hands-on Nintendo Switch 2 Experience. Much like the Nintendo Live events, those keen to attend will need to enter a ballot for potential selection, with these being randomly drawn from a pool of entries.
Those who are successful will presumably get a short window of time to jump onto the Nintendo Switch 2 and play around with it. Presumably, there will actually be a game available to play during this experience, and presumably this will be Mario Kart 9. That’s pure speculation, but it makes sense that Nintendo will have something significant to show, particularly given the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience will chart a global stage.
