The video game world is abuzz with the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2. The studio released a reveal trailer showcasing the next-gen console. While we still don’t have an exact release date, a reveal trailer tells us we will get a date very soon. Some lucky fans won’t have to wait long in order to try out the Switch 2. Hands-on events are set to take place in April, and fans were drawn at random to attend. The invites have been sent out, and fans who have been selected have taken to social media to express their excitement.
Nintendo Switch 2 Early Access
“Congratulations! You are going to Nintendo Switch 2 Experience: Los Angeles. We look forward to seeing you there,” one fan’s email read. There are three events taking place in the United States in April. The New York event will be April 4 to 6. Los Angeles will host the event from April 11 to 13, and Dallas will follow from April 25 to 27. These events are not just taking place domestically. Throughout the month of April, hands-on events will be taking place worldwide.
These events will hopefully answer some of the questions many fans have been asking about the Nintendo Switch 2. Many are wondering what’s new and different, but more importantly, fans want to know what new games are coming. Mario Kart 9 was seemingly teased in the reveal trailer, and it stands to reason Nintendo will want to give fans a hands-on look at the next installment of the popular series. Fans hope that other titles will be available, even if it is simply to confirm the backward compatibility of certain titles.
Do These Events Help To Narrow The Release Date?
The biggest question on everyone’s mind is this: when does the Nintendo Switch 2 release? These April events may help us narrow down some dates. If Nintendo is giving fans a hands-on experience, the console is ready to go. Timing is everything in this industry, and it would make sense to release it around the holiday season. October through December has historically been an excellent time to release next-gen consoles. Demand goes way up due to the console being on many wishlists.
One rumor has been floating around that the release date will be sometime in late September. While Nintendo has not confirmed this in any way, it would fit the timeline that studios have used historically for successful launches. Until the Japanese company makes an official announcement, fans will be speculating. This is one of the most anticipated releases of the year in the video game world. Rival studios are singing praises for the new console and it has everyone intrigued.
Final Thoughts
There are likely many jealous gamers in the world tonight. Fans were selected for the Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on event randomly. There was no way to buy your way in or increase your chances. It was simply luck of the draw. While many fans will have to wait a while, the lucky fans who got the email will only have to wait a few short months to get their hands on the new Joy-Con controller.
