Nintendo has begun sending out invites to fans for the “Nintendo Switch 2 Experience” events taking place around the world. These hands-on events will give selected fans the opportunity to try out the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console ahead of its official release. The selection process for these events functions as a ticket raffle, with users chosen at random to attend their nearest event.
Those who are selected will receive an email notification from Nintendo. The email reads: “Nintendo Event Ticket – Your entry was selected: Nintendo Switch 2 Experience.”
The experiences will occur between April and June in multiple global locations, including London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Paris, Toronto, Milan, and Amsterdam. In addition to the hands-on events, Nintendo has also announced a Switch 2 Direct broadcast airing on April 2, 2025.
This broadcast is expected to reveal more details about the new console and its upcoming games. Fans have taken to social media to share their excitement or disappointment about receiving an invite.
Fans invited to Switch 2 events
Some lucky fans expressed their anticipation for the event, while others shared their plans to follow the coverage online. “I’m one of the lucky few that managed to get a ticket. I’m really excited to see what the ‘Switch 2 Experience’ is all about,” said one fan.
Another fan who missed out on an invite said, “I missed out but will try Thursday’s waitlist.”
Despite the disappointment of not receiving an invite, many fans remain excited about the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2. They eagerly anticipate more details through the Direct broadcast and media coverage from the hands-on events. The Nintendo Switch 2 was initially revealed earlier in January with a brief trailer, but most details, including additional games and features, remain under wraps for now.
Speculation suggests that the console will launch before the end of September, creating a potential four-month release window. As the hands-on events approach, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting more information about this highly anticipated hardware. Whether attending the events in person or following along online, the excitement continues to build for what promises to be an exciting new era for Nintendo.
