The Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is notable for what it lacks: it isn't a traditional game, isn't part of a series, and isn't offered as a free pack-in. It's designed as an introductory tool for the Switch 2, aiming to explain new gaming features to non-gamers in accessible terms. Despite its educational role, it seems misaligned with its target audience of non-casual gamers, resulting in a product that feels disconnected from both high-tech enthusiasts and casual users. The contradiction highlights the challenge of addressing these diverse potential users in one unique offering.
"Welcome Tour is designed to serve as a primer for the Switch 2, breaking down advanced gaming technologies in simple terms for non-gamers."
"The nature of Welcome Tour makes it difficult to separate its price from its identity as a non-traditional video game."
