We don’t know when the Nintendo Switch 2 will launch (aside from later this year), but we do know when you can get your hands on the hardware — at least briefly. Nintendo is taking the Switch 2 on tour with a series of events it’s called the “Nintendo Switch 2 Experience.” Players around the globe will be able to check out the new console for themselves and presumably play brand-new games, like the just-teased next entry in the Mario Kart series.
The events will span North America, Asia, Oceania, and Europe and kick off in April — which is also when Nintendo will be hosting a Direct event to share more details on its new console. Here’s the full schedule, and you can keep an eye out for tickets right here. Nintendo says the tickets “will be made available through a free-to-enter, randomly selected drawing.”
