Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a lot like Astro's Playroomin that it serves as an intro to the new console, but in a gamified way. In it, you'll be able to walk around a virtual Switch 2 as a kind of interactive exhibit, learning about all the handheld's features. That's way more fun than reading the instruction manual.
