Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour hands-on preview
Welcome Tour is the only first party launch game for the Nintendo Switch 2, other than Mario Kart World, but what exactly is it and how does it work?
There's an unspoken rule with video game previews, that you never say anything too negative, unless it's obvious the game is irredeemably awful and there's little to no chance of it ever being anything else. Which leaves us in a bit of a quandary as to what to say about Welcome Tour, which we would call one of the worst games Nintendo has ever made… if it actually was a game.
Nintendo themselves describe it as an 'interactive exhibit', that explains the features and technology behind the Switch 2 and how it works. That's fine in theory – if you want to spend all day reading little text boxes about how the console's magnet connectors work – but the problem with Welcome Tour is that Nintendo expects you to pay for it.
It is cheap but if this was free it'd be something you put on out of idle curiosity and turn off five minutes later, out of boredom and frustration. The fact that it partially fulfils the same role as the wonderful Astro's Playroom on PlayStation 5, which actually is free, makes things even worse.
Astro's Playroom went out of its way to show off the full capabilities of the PlayStation 5 in terms of graphics, fast loading, and the new DualSense controller. It looked amazing, it was packed with fun references to classic PlayStation games and hardware, and it was filled with charm and character – and amazing songs.
By comparison, Welcome Tour is bland, clinical, and purposefully unexciting. Why it's that way we can't begin to fathom but we can only assume it's because Nintendo know the content is so staid that it would've been disingenuous to have Mario jumping around, trying to make it seem more engaging.
Instead, you control a tiny little stick figure, looking down from a great height on an isometric world that is presented like a giant Switch 2 console, that other stick figures are walking over and exploring. It's separated out into several sections and you can only progress from one to the other once you've found all the little info descriptions for the hardware functions in the current area.
This involves slowly exploring every little corner, like a bad graphic adventure game from the 90s, until you stumble upon an interactive spot that informs you that you're standing next to a button or a speaker or whatever is nearby. This in itself is so staggeringly dull and frustrating – given how easy it is to miss a spot – it almost feels like a joke, but it's not. At least not intentionally. More Trending
Although the info points are technically the most important in-game objects there're more detailed text descriptions that usually have a multiple choice quiz associated with them, as well as a (surprisingly small) number of mini-games and tech demos.
We already played a couple at the preview event in April and predictably the ones later in the game don't get any better. The one demonstrating the difference between different frame rates is still the only one that's close to interesting (even though its most useful function is to illustrate how little difference 120fps makes visually) with the highlight of our latest preview being a version of a wire loop game that's used to show how the mouse controls work.
As with Mario Kart World, we won't be able to give Welcome Tour a scored review until next week, but there's no point doing a review in progress as it's very clear to us that the game, or whatever you want to call it, is not worth the attention. It's nothing to get angry about, given how inconsequential it is, but it's so perversely uninteresting we're absolutely baffled as to why it exists, no matter whether it's free or not.

Nintendo Switch 2 Durability: Will Your New Console Last?
The Nintendo Switch 2 represents a significant step forward in gaming technology, combining enhanced performance with thoughtful design improvements. While the console impresses with its structural durability and innovative features, certain aspects, such as the plastic screen and absence of water resistance, may raise questions about its long-term resilience. The video below from JerryRigEverything explores the durability, design, and performance of the Nintendo Switch 2, highlighting its strengths and areas that could benefit from further refinement. Performance Upgrades: A Leap Forward The Nintendo Switch 2 delivers a substantial improvement in performance, offering a tenfold boost in graphical capabilities compared to the original model. At the heart of this upgrade is a 7.9-inch 120Hz 1080p HDR LCD display, which doubles the pixel density of its predecessor. This results in sharper visuals, richer colors, and smoother gameplay, making sure an immersive experience whether you're gaming in handheld mode or docked. The console's ability to seamlessly transition between handheld and docked modes enhances its versatility, making it a standout choice for gamers who value flexibility. The upgraded hardware ensures that even graphically demanding games run smoothly, providing a gaming experience that feels modern and polished. Design Innovations: Magnetic Attachments and Enhanced Stability One of the most notable design changes in the Nintendo Switch 2 is its redesigned Joy-Con attachment system. Moving away from the mechanical rails of the original model, the new system uses steel components and magnets to create a secure yet easily detachable connection. This design not only improves durability but also allows the Joy-Cons to attach in multiple orientations, including upside down, offering greater flexibility during gameplay. The console also features a sturdier metal kickstand, which significantly enhances stability during tabletop use. This improvement addresses a common complaint about the original Switch, where the flimsy kickstand often led to accidental collapses. These thoughtful design updates improve both the functionality and convenience of the console, making it more user-friendly and reliable. Durability: Strengths and Weak Points The Nintendo Switch 2 demonstrates impressive structural durability, withstanding significant stress without compromising its functionality. The Joy-Cons are engineered to detach safely under force, reducing the risk of internal damage during accidental drops or impacts. This feature ensures that the console remains intact even under challenging conditions. However, the plastic screen is a notable vulnerability. It is highly prone to scratches, which could detract from the overall gaming experience over time. To mitigate this, using a glass screen protector is strongly recommended. Another area of concern is the console's lack of water resistance. While this does not affect everyday use, it does require users to exercise caution around liquids, as exposure could lead to irreversible damage. These factors highlight the importance of taking protective measures, such as investing in a screen protector and a durable carrying case, to ensure the console's longevity. Build Materials: Balancing Durability and Cost The materials used in the Nintendo Switch 2 reflect a careful balance between durability and cost efficiency. The plastic screen includes a permanent protective layer designed to minimize minor damage, while the buttons and joystick caps feature inlaid lettering to ensure long-term legibility. These design choices enhance the console's usability without significantly increasing production costs. Metal components, such as the kickstand and Joy-Con triggers, add to the console's robustness, making sure it can withstand regular use. These durable materials contribute to the overall structural integrity of the device, making it a reliable option for both casual and dedicated gamers. Additional Features: Enhancing the Experience The Nintendo Switch 2 introduces several features aimed at improving the overall gaming experience. These include: Dual stereo speakers with protective wire mesh, delivering clear and durable audio output. with protective wire mesh, delivering clear and durable audio output. Game cartridges coated with a bitter substance to discourage ingestion by children, enhancing safety. coated with a bitter substance to discourage ingestion by children, enhancing safety. A docking station that supports 4K output, providing a significant visual upgrade for TV gaming. that supports 4K output, providing a significant visual upgrade for TV gaming. LED integration in the Joy-Con grip, offering visual feedback during gameplay for added immersion. While these features enhance the console's appeal, some game cartridges may only include download keys instead of full games. This could disappoint collectors who prefer physical copies. Despite this minor drawback, the additional features significantly improve the overall value of the console, making it a compelling choice for gamers. Concerns and Positives: A Balanced Perspective The Nintendo Switch 2 excels in many areas but is not without its shortcomings. The plastic screen and logo are particularly prone to cosmetic damage, making them vulnerable to scratches and wear over time. Additionally, transporting the Joy-Cons without proper protection could lead to joystick damage, especially during frequent travel. On the positive side, the console and Joy-Cons demonstrate exceptional structural integrity, remaining intact even under significant stress. The improved docking station and LED-integrated Joy-Con grip further enhance the gaming experience, offering features that cater to both casual and serious gamers. These strengths make the Nintendo Switch 2 a well-rounded and versatile gaming console. A Durable Yet Fragile Companion The Nintendo Switch 2 strikes a commendable balance between durability and functionality, offering substantial improvements over its predecessor. While its cosmetic fragility and lack of water resistance require users to take extra precautions, these concerns can be mitigated with proper care and protective accessories. By addressing these vulnerabilities, the Nintendo Switch 2 can serve as a reliable and enjoyable gaming companion for years to come.

Best Summer Game Fest 2025 trailers: Mortal Shell 2, Stranger Than Heaven & more
Watch all the most interesting trailers from the biggest summer preview event of the year, including Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Code Vein 2, and Wu-Tang: Rise Of The Deceiver. You never know what you're going to get with Summer Game Fest, the would-be replacement for E3 hosted by The Games Awards creator Geoff Keighley. Some years there's tons of big name reveals and some years it's mostly just AA and indie titles. This is one of those years. That doesn't mean there was nothing of interest, but the mic drop reveal at the end of the two hour long show was Resident Evil Requiem, and it was by far the biggest game to be featured. Despite being only a day after the Nintendo Switch 2 launch, and Nintendo registered as a partner, the only time the console was even mentioned was a brief ad for Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition. Although that does probably increase the chances of a Nintendo Direct later in the month. There were a few notable trends for the games at this year's Summer Game Fest: a lot of Soulslike titles with dark grey visuals, a lot of anime games, and plenty of live service titles still trying their luck at hitting the big time. So, if the thought of that doesn't appeal you may find the pickings relatively thin. Although there's also Jurassic World Evolution 3 and the Deadpool VR game if you fancy something different. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. The first annoucement was Mortal Shell 2, a sequel to the 2020 Dark Souls clone that is still one of our favourite Soulslikes not made by FromSoftware. Developed by a mere 30-man team (Keighley was keen to highlight that many of the games were by surprisingly small developers) the sequel seems to be going for a more overt horror atmosphere, while there was a lot more gun combat than usual for the genre. It's out sometime in 2026. It's never a surprise to see Hideo Kojima at a Geoff Keighley event but the cut scene he decided to show for Death Stranding 2 was not exactly the most enthralling. It featured Luca Marinelli as Neil and his real-life wife Alyssa Jung as therapist Lucy, arguing about the fact that he's forgotten who she is. Neil is apparently the villain of the piece, and the one dressed up in Solid Snake cosplay in some of the previous images. The game itself is out in just a few weeks, on June 26. Sega had a strange little dig at Mario Kart World during their reveal of Sonic's latest kart racer, pointing out that it has cross-play… even though Mario Kart is obviously only on Nintendo formats. The game looked good, but the focus of the demonstration was crossover characters from other games, including Hatsune Miku, Ichiban Kasuga from Like A Dragon, Joker from Persona 5, and Steve from Minecraft. The game will be released on September 25 for every format imaginable. We're really not sure the art style in this unexpected sequel to the 2019 Soulslike works very well, with its anime characters and realistic backdrops, but at least it's something a bit different. The original didn't seem quite successful enough to justify a follow-up, but the action looks good and at least it's one Soulslike that's not copying FromSoftware's visuals as well as its gameplay. It'll be released for Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and PC sometime next year. It does seem madness that there's never been a console action game based on Game Of Thrones. There still isn't, but at least this real-time strategy game isn't just some seedy mobile title. Unfortunately, the pre-rendered trailer never showed a hint of any gameplay, so there's no clue as to what it's actually like, but apparently it involves 'ruthless free-for-all battles where trust is fleeting and power is everything'. It's out next year and seems to be PC-only, which is a shame as it could have worked as a spiritual sequel to EA's old Lord Of The Rings real-time strategies. It's been a very busy week for Capcom this week, with Pragmata re-unveiled at the State of Play on Wednesday and Resident Evil Requiem being the big reveal at the end of Summer Game Fest. But we also got a new gameplay trailer for the reboot of Onimusha, which looks extremely pretty and continued the series' tradition of not even trying to have anyone sound like they're actually from Japan (like Resident Evil, the originals only had English voiceovers). There's no release date yet, but it's out next year on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. One of the strangest reveals of the show was what seems to be a Muppet version of Punch-Out!!, with the potty-mouthed puppets taking part in what also probably counts as a homage to Rocky. The gameplay does seem almost identical to Nintendo's old boxing game but hopefully there's a bit more to it than that. The game doesn't have a release date and is currently scheduled only for PC. Expected to be the next big thing in online shooters, the only thing ARC Raiders has been missing is a release date, but it finally got that at Summer Game Fest. It'll be out on October 30 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC, which is interesting because that's right around the time you'd expect this year's Call Of Duty to come out – and the new Battlefield, if EA launches it this year. ARC Raiders' strong word of mouth gives it a head start though, which could make for an interesting autumn shootout. When we interviewed Jospeh Fares about Split Fiction, we asked him why he thought no one had ever tried to copy his games, despite their huge success. He didn't know but finally another developer seems to have wondered the same thing and Out Of Words does look very reminiscent of It Takes Two in particular. The hand-crafted, stop motion visuals are neat though and it's definitely one to watch, even if it doesn't have a release date yet. Another game taking inspiration from Split Fiction, at least in the sense that it has a friend pass that means only one person has to own a copy of the game to play online co-op. It's by the creators of the very good Lego Builder's Journey and rather than being based on Lego licensed sets, or any other established toy line, it's all about solving puzzles by building Lego structures. If it's as good as Lego Builder's Journey it'll be doing very well indeed, although there's no release date yet. Between South Of Midnight and The Midnight Walk, and Out Of Words, stop motion animation Is suddenly very popular for video games. The art style in this new game from Annapurna was notably different though, and while we're not entirely sure what's going on in terms of the gameplay the 80s soundtrack sounds like it'll be the best thing since GTA: Vice City. Made by just nine people in Indonesia, this very bloody looking beat 'em-up looked extremely impressive, and also very reminiscent of the violence in Oldboy. We didn't quite gather what was going on in terms of the story but we're sure revenge has something to do with it, as you beat down hordes of goons and get a Mortal Kombat style view of an opponent's skeleton, when you manage to put a big enough dent in it. It'll be out on PC next summer. We can't say we've ever been fans of Scott Pilgrim, either the comics or the film, but the 2D graphics for this new scrolling beat 'em-up look gorgeous. It's clearly intended as follow-up to Ubisoft's film tie-in from 2010, which was well received by many, and is by the same team behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge and Marvel Cosmic Invasion (which was also at Summer Game Fest and announced Rocket Racoon and She-Hulk as characters). It'll be out on current and last gen consoles and PC next year. Although 007 First Light did get a quick name check on stage, developer and publisher IO Interactive instead spent their time talking about Agent 47 in MindsEye and Mads Mikkelsen in Hitman: World of Assassination (aka Hitman 3). He'll be reprising the role of Le Chiffre as the latest elusive target in the game – a special character, usually played by a famous actor, that is only available to assassinate for 30 days, starting from today. That's neat but it's also interesting that it implied IO has a considerable amount of leeway with the Bond licence and what they can do with it. The other Lego game to be unveiled was an outrageously obvious clone of Mario Party, only with 300 different minifigures instead of the Mushroom Kingdom crew. These can be rearranged in trillions of different combinations, in order to compete for stars golden bricks and play 60 different mini-games. We're big fans of Mario Party (and Lego) so if this manages to be as fun as Nintendo's games then we're all for it. It'll be release for both consoles and PC this year. A new game from Drinkbox Studios, makers of Guacamelee! and Nobody Saves The World is immediately of interest but this Diablo-esque role-player looks a bit more serious and horror tinged than their previous games. It also seems to be channelling Hades creator Supergiant Games, none of which is a bad thing. Whether it's a Metroidvania or not isn't clear but at certainly points in the trailer it definitely seems to have co-op. It's not certain which formats it's coming to but it's out on PC next year. A lot of people are probably going to compare this to online survival game Grounded, but the plot makes it sound like a more serious version of Pikmin, with aliens visiting Earth and battling with both insects and some sort of mechanical robot menace, as you search for your lost crew. It's out for consoles and PC next year and while there's very little concrete information on the gameplay the visuals certainly look impressive. Whether you care about the Wu-Tang Clan or not this had some of the nicest visuals of any game at the show. They seemed fairly obviously influenced by the Into The Spider-Verse movies, but that's no bad thing, and we're only surprised that hasn't happened before. The idea of a Wu-Tan action role-playing game was leaked quite a while ago, where it was described as Diablo meets Hi-Fi Rush, which does seem to fit with what you see in the trailer. There's no release date so far. There were a lot of great looking games at the show, but this might have been our favourite, with its 40s style animation reminiscent of a 3D Cuphead. It's a bit hard to tell exactly what's going on with the story but you seem to be playing an alcohol abusing cartoon character who's been tricked by the Devil into… taking part in a third person action roguelite, that also has three-player co-op. There's no release date but if it looks as good as it plays it'll be doing very well indeed. The final reveal before Resident Evil Requiem was what was previously codenamed Project Century and while it looks like a Yakuza spin-off it's not actually part of the franchise, even though it's by the same developer. Sega didn't explain much, but when the game was first introduced it was set in Japan in 1915 and yet this trailer is set in 1943 (i.e. in the middle of the Second World War). More Trending Given the codename that probably implies you're playing in multiple time periods across the whole century. There was no mention of formats or a release date though, so it's probably still quite a while away from release. Email gamecentral@ leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter.

Nintendo Switch 2 – live updates on where to buy as stock sells out
A day after launch, the Nintendo Switch 2 has little stock in the UK. Consoles began quietly landing at shops yesterday morning, and now it's a race against the clock to secure one. Argos, Amazon, and Currys have completely run dry, as has ShopTo. Not only is there no same-day stock, it looks like there's almost no stock at all. The good news is that Nintendo has finally dropped some stock, and Very has a Mario Kart World bundle. EE and O2 have stock, but you have to have an existing contract with them. However, we've seen a lot of surprise stock drops over this console launch. While there's precious little stock at the moment, it's worth checking back every half hour or so in case there's any movement. Where to buy the Nintendo Switch right now Nintendo Switch 2 specs The Switch 2 might look familiar, but there's a lot going on underneath. It's powered by a new custom Nvidia chip, so games don't just load faster, they look better and run more smoothly. You get 12GB of RAM (up from 4GB on the original Switch), and most of that goes straight into powering games, not just background stuff. The screen is still LCD, not OLED, but it's bigger at 7.9in and has 1080p resolution. It supports HDR and a 120Hz refresh rate. Colours pop more and motion looks buttery-smooth in handheld mode. There's also DLSS upscaling built in, so older games look better. Sadly, while it supports variable refresh rates, it doesn't work when docked – just in handheld mode. Nintendo Switch 2 price The Nintendo Switch 2 on its own costs £399.99, and the main bundle with Mario Kart World costs £429.99. Buying the bundle saves you £40 compared to picking up the game separately, so it's the better value if you're planning to grab it anyway. No big discounts yet – it's launch day, after all – but some retailers have larger, more expensive bundles. These include the new Switch 2 camera (£49, the Pro controller (£74.99, and the official carry case and screen protector (£20.99, as well as extra games and accessories. Nintendo Switch 2 launch games There's a stacked line-up of Switch 2 games for day one. Mario Kart World is obviously the big one, but you've also got upgraded versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, plus mammoth games like Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition and Hogwarts Legacy – two games that really test the console's muscle. Other launch day games include Hades 2, Split Fiction, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Street Fighter 6, Survival Kids and Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. You've also got Yakuza 0: Director's Cut, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and Deltarune Chapters 1–4, plus more niche picks like Fantasy Life i and Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD. Civilization VII and No Man's Sky are here too, and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour acts as a mini showcase for the new hardware. On top of that, loads of older Nintendo titles have been patched with free performance updates, and Wind Waker, F-Zero GX and Soul Calibur II are now available through the new Switch Online GameCube library. Here's our Nintendo Switch 2 review So, I've officially had 48 hours with the Nintendo Switch 2, and it's a definite step-up over the Nintendo Switch OLED. My colleague Jake Brigstock and I have been putting it through its paces. Here's our initial review – yes, you're getting two takes for the price of one. Nintendo Switch 2 review: What we like (and dislike) about the console After almost a decade's wait, the Nintendo Switch 2 is here Alex Lee6 June 2025 17:01 Here's where you can buy a Switch 2 right now You can still buy the Nintendo Switch 2 from a few places in the UK, but each option comes with a caveat. The My Nintendo Store has the console in stock now, though you'll need an active Switch Online membership to place an order. Delivery is fairly quick though, with consoles arriving in two to three days. Very also has a bundle available to buy, but delivery is on the slower side. Orders aren't expected to arrive until Friday, 13 June. EE has stock as well, but it's only available to pay-monthly customers and delivery takes between 1-3 working days. O2 is also selling the Switch 2 to existing customers, but shipping is particularly slow – some orders could take more than four weeks to arrive. Alex Lee6 June 2025 15:28 Nintendo just dropped stock I predicted it earlier and it's come to pass. Nintendo's just dropped some stock. You have to have a My Nintendo account to buy a console, but the stock is there. There's a standalone Nintendo Switch console and a Mario Kart World bundle. Alex Lee6 June 2025 12:59 Smyths Toys taking orders Smyths Toys sold out around midday yesterday, but they're taking orders once again. It won't be a fast delivery; the retailer says it expects stock between 10-16 June, and delivering your Switch 2 could take up to three working days after that. However, if you missed out on the console yesterday, this is a good bet. Buy now at Smyths Toys Alex Lee6 June 2025 11:57 Nintendo Switch 2 stock at O2 Huge thank you to reader Mark Brooker, who got in touch about some Nintendo Switch 2 stock at O2. It's unlike any of the stock we've seen so far. It's a Mario Kart World bundle and only for O2 customers. You have two options. You can either pay in full for £449.99 or spread the cost. If you spread the cost, it costs £110 up front, but you can pay as little as £9.44 a month at 0% APR. The catch? Delivery could take more than 4 weeks. Buy now at O2 Alex Lee6 June 2025 11:40 Stock just dropped at Very It's been quiet since 6am this morning, but Very just dropped stock. You can get a Nintendo Switch 2, Mario Kart World, and a Switch 2 Camera for £479. It will arrive on Friday 13 June. Buy now at Very Alex Lee6 June 2025 11:04 More detail on EE stock Right now, EE is the only place in the country you can buy a Switch 2. You have a few options: The first is the basic Mario Kart World bundle. You get a Nintendo Switch 2 console and, unsurprisingly, Mario Kart World. You also get a 12 month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, so you can play online. This also gives you access to 170 old-school games from the NES, SNES, GameCube, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance and Sega Genesis. It costs £22 a month for £24 months, and you have to pay £20 upfront today. Buy now at EE The other option is more expensive, but you get a lot more. As well as the Nintendo Switch 2 console Mario Kart World, and Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, you get some hardware. You also get a Nintendo Switch camera for online gaming. That bundle costs £25 monthly for 24 months, and you have to pay £20 upfront. Buy now at EE Alex Lee6 June 2025 10:11 Who else might drop stock? It's hard to predict stock drops, but two big players have been noticeably quiet so far. We haven't seen any stock from John Lewis, despite rumours that the retailer might have a few consoles. It might be that their stock has been held back for today or the weekend to capitalise on the limited stock at other sellers. The other conspicuous absence is Nintendo itself. There was no stock on the My Nintendo store, so we might see some drops over the coming days. Alex Lee 6 June 2025 09:18 Nintendo Switch 2 back in stock at EE It looked like EE had sold out, but The Mario Kart World bundle is back. It's a £22 a month for 24 months plan. This might be your best chance for a Switch 2 this morning, but you can only buy it if you're an EE customer. Buy now at EE Alex Lee6 June 2025 08:43 Where to buy a Switch 2 right now Stock looks very depleted this morning. As of right now, you have two options, and neither is great. The Switch is technically still available at Argos, but I've only found it in one shop in the country. It's still worth checking if you live somewhere relatively remote, but it looks like there's no stock in big cities. Keep refreshing – you might have more luck over this morning Buy now at Argos Your other option is EE, which seems to have plenty of stock. the drawback here is that you need to be an EE customer. The Mario Kart World bundle is available on a £22 a month for 24 months plan, which works out at £526, much more expensive in the long run than the £429.99 launch price. You can't buy the deal if you're already on a 24 month plan with the network, either. Alex Lee6 June 2025 06:50
