The Switch Is On The Road Again With The 'Play Nintendo Tour' (US)

I love that something like this exists so late in a consoles lifecycle.

Oh wow no TTYD here it seems, probably because it’s not multiplayer

“Oh, this is cool, but there’s probably not gonna be one of these near me so-“
checks locations
“Huh, there’s actually one near me. Too bad I’m too lazy to actually go.”

none near me awwww. maybe this hints that nintendo direct before the 13th? and also theyll prob show world championships

@OctolingKing13 Last year had the first stop of the tour occur before the Direct (June 15th - 18th with the Direct being on June 21st).

@Tyranexx Where are you coming from that Des Moines is both closest and a day away, north mainland Michigan?

That's too early to host NWC qualifiers, since the game won't be out until July.
I still theorize that we'll be getting an irl NWC in late 2024.

@Tyranexx I'm in the Chicago burbs, so it'd be Des Moines for me too if I thought this'd be worth it.

Well... Clearly the Flatirons Mall is located in Broomfield Colorado, but I had a good time the last time up. So this will be promising.
But it seems as though they are doing a reverse order of the locations this time around, which is odd since the last tour ended in Utah last year. But admit the change though with the same locations locked in place

This is a clue as to when Nintendo announces the Switch 2. Nintendo would likely not reveal Switch 2 until after the tour and probably in October. Switch was revealed in October 2016 and released in March 2017.

Gonna bring my 3ds with dark moon and see what they think

@Tyranexx If they opened a Nintendo Store in Chicago I'd 1) go there and 2) go broke

Can't wait!
I've done these before and it is a lot of fun - though as a hard core Nintendo fan there isn't much I don't already own.
Still - it's like a mini-E3 in terms of atmosphere, good times!
I'll be there!

Nowhere near me!

Nothing for the south except SC and TX as usual.

@cyrus_zuo how do you attend if you don’t mind me asking? Thankfully it’ll literally be in my neighborhood so I should be able to attend, but I wonder if I need to register first even if it’s free

I was hoping this was also going to be about a playset like the one pictured available for purchase. I’d love to have something like that!

Nothing close to me at all. But that's ok. I have my OLED and can boot up any of those games anytime I want.

Great news! My kids and I go every time it’s at the mall of America. I’m so glad this is returning. We missed that they didn’t do it last year.

Yeah there are 9 of these, 1 in each of 9 states, and there are 50 states, so it isn’t coming close to a lot of us. 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s ok for me though ,that game list is pretty lame, so I wasn’t going anyway. I’ve been to 2 in the past, and 1 Sony 1.

@Switcher Just show up. There isn't any registration, though in my experience there is usually a line of people waiting to get in before they open and it is packed during easy access hours. Pick up a stamp card and fill it in to get some swag. Play games, snap photos, try to find enough space to walk through the sections. Lots of fun!

@cyrus_zuo Thanks so much for the insight and reply! I truly appreciate it, I'm very excited as this will be my first Nintendo experience!
