Nintendo's new minigame-powered exhibit, the Switch 2 Welcome Tour, offers a unique, virtual experience that showcases the capabilities of their new hardware. While inspired by engaging real-life exhibits, the tour's presentation can a bit sterile and underwhelming for certain users. Players explore a giant, Switch 2-shaped exhibit, discovering kiosks that explain the controls and engaging in minigames that highlight the hardware's improvements. Although the experience is entertaining, some elements may benefit from a more vibrant, playful presentation, reminiscent of WarioWare games.
But Nintendo's virtual spin on popular real-life exhibits like the Museum of Ice Cream, Meow Wolf, and teamLab's dazzling, Instagrammable installations sometimes feels a little too sterile.
The goal of Welcome Tour is to find all of its little secrets, while Nintendo flexes the Switch 2 hardware upgrades and entertains players enough to make the collection's $9.99 asking price seem justified.
