Nintendo Switch Preview Tour Schedule Revealed by Nintendo

News: The Nintendo Switch will be in six different cities leading up to its release in March.

The Nintendo Switch is coming out in March but we don’t have to wait that long to get some information and some hands on time. Nintendo has revealed that their next gaming system will be travelling across North America to provide hands-on time for fans, gamers, families and everyone in between. The Nintendo Switch will be the star of an interactive multi-city tour that is open to the public on select days.

The currently scheduled cities that are part of the tour include:

New York: January 13-15

Toronto: January 27-29

Washington D.C.: February 10-12

Chicago: February 17-19

San Francisco: February 24-26

Los Angeles: March 3-5

The first two days of each of these tour stops is invite-only, but Nintendo is changing things up and asking fans to join the fun on the third day. The Sunday stop of each tour is open free to the public, so anyone that wants to be among the first people in the world to experience Nintendo Switch will have her or his chance. Space is very limited, however, and fans will be let in on a first-come, first-served basis. Early arrival is highly recommended.

The interactive tour will let people of all ages experience Nintendo Switch for the first time and play select launch games in very original and surprising settings. Each of these unique areas will highlight the different ways Nintendo Switch can be played.

In addition to these tour stops, Nintendo will bring Nintendo Switch and launch games to PAX South in San Antonio (Jan. 27-29), PAX East in Boston (March 10-12) and SXSW in Austin, Texas (March 16-18). Anyone that misses out on the Preview Tour can catch Nintendo Switch at one of these events.

Additional details about the Nintendo Switch will be revealed during the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 on January 12. Do you plan on picking up Nintendo’s new console?
