Registration For The 'Nintendo Switch 2 Experience' Begins Soon

I think I'll wait for the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience 2.

I wish Nintendo will ever open their branch in my country Indonesia.
I just only can watch from YouTube to see the gaming experience before I buy the machine and experience by myself.

Hmmm Dallas would perhaps be technically possible for me..? Bit of a drive though. Might be worth it?!

I can't justify driving 3hrs to the city to probably end up waiting in long lines for 5 mins of Mario Kart 9.

I'd much rather they open registrations for humans (perhaps NSO members) who want to preorder a Switch 2. It's going to be a pain to compete with the bots and scalpers this April!

@Anti-Matter so basically Belarus.😏

I live 36 minutes away from the NyC location . I’d take a PTO day if I somehow end up winning a ticket.

Unless you just so happen to live within an hour of any of these locations then this is simply not worth it

Before I asked friends to pay for their share of the NSO family subscription. Now I’m just adding spare buddies in, with the promise that they’ll bring me to the Switch 2 experience if selected. I remember having a fun time with the Switch 1 Experience when it came to Toronto.

I've been to the past few Nintendo launch preview events in my city. They're fun but I wouldn't go out of my way to travel to one. The Wii U and Switch ones made sense, this was new hardware with a new experience. This time around is a bit less ambitious as far as something "new" to be had.

Switch 2 will still likely launch in Summer. The consoles will also be in game stores for preview by the Fall time. No need to rush ahead.

the "Amsterdam" one, is literally a 18 minute bike ride away from where I live
(and the location is actually Zaandam, on the border of Amsterdam)

Missing these from list:
City - Date:
Hong Kong - To be announced
Taipei - To be announced

I hope they add more locations. They had one in Manchester (UK) last time, it was really good.

I'm actually getting hyped for this, thinking of taking my 10 year old along too. But how unfair, why isn't it first come first serve.
Like @DragotheKomodo mentioned it's actually not in Amsterdam but very closeby, just a ferry ride away.
I remember hesitating to get the OLED Switch, thinking the difference with the OG would be minimal, while it was more like day and night, and I couldn't be happier with it. So I'm pretty curious about Switch 2. Fingers crossed the screen is OLED too.

@HotGoomba It's rumoured the Experience 2 will have quicker queue times and comfier seating.

Why would you bother, the direct will cover all the bases and your current switch will for fill the rest.

I'm so glad Nintendo is keeping up with their word of full support for us here in Brazil!

Who ever going to test it please let me know how long the battery life can go, and speaker volume will it same as the Steamdeck. How is the weight. Will Joycon feel easily get accident break the Plug part. Thanks

Maybe if this had come to Chicago or Milwaukee (two of the largest cities in the area where I live), I might have considered it. But I am not going to travel to Dallas, Los Angeles, or New York City for this. I simply can't justify the travel expenses for a few hours of entertainment.

Dallas, NY, LA...
Hmm

Dallas: 9 hours
NYC: 18 hours
LA: if not on fire: 26 hours

Nice. Hopefully there. Wish it was in the same location as last time when they did the switch.

I feel there is something more to come about switch 2, I’m suspicious. Cause I’m a day one Nintendo fan and would normally want to part of something like this a lot. But even I wonder if I want to go try what essentially looks like an upgrade on what I have in my living room.
Also they haven’t told us much but they have told us that they are organising events to let some people try it. They could do the normal marketing and create a buzz because it’s a new Nintendo console. I’m hoping there’s a Nintendo gimmick in there and that’s why they want people to try it.

If there still is a hands on event on 1 of June, then Switch release if probably mid to end of June.

Not sure if I want to fly to Melbourne solely for this. 😅

Disgrace. I see no Batulovce here.

@Spider-Kev It took 23 comments for someone to mention the LA fires, nicely done.👍

We should just be able to show up the morning of unannounced like Nintendo did w/ their Switch 2 reveal this morning.😂

Oh nice, the city I live in has one!

I'll definitely give it a shot with my family group! Though I'm not expecting to be picked.

I was lucky enough to win a place with my wife to the Switch 1 launch event.
At the time there was a lot of scepticism and "Ninten-doomed" on forums and I admit I wasn't convinced either, but after going hands on at the event I became a committed fan.
Even if I still couldn't make some of you lot on here believe

Giggling playing Switch 1-2, trying Arms, and of course queueing up to play Breath of the Wild and being blown away by the world was so much fun. Just a great day.

Edit: the pin badge and lanyard in my avatar pic were freebies from the event.

Everyone seems to be expecting a few mins of Mario Kart 9, but Nintendo didn’t specify the games. It’ll likely include a new 3D Mario or any other launch games.

Would’ve been good if it wasn’t just Toronto for Canada. Would’ve thought Vancouver or maybe Edmonton. All the same, good luck to everyone else here!

A heads-up to those of us in Japan - registration here is already open.

Yeah I'm not flying to Toronto for this, sorry

These dates pretty much confirm release ain't happening until June at the earliest

Still can't find the registration button for London. It just points me to the create Nintendo Account page.

London not working

Not live yet for London

Doesn't seem like the ticket registration has already opened for Berlin? On that page I can only register for a Nintendo account which I already have, not for tickets.

Yep, not working in Berlin for either.

Nope still not working for London either

Is London open? Where do I click?

@Woodyshoe doesn't appear to be yet only an option to register for Nintendo Account

@Woodyshoe Same. I am confused. Looking at the site, I can't see what has changed since yesterday.

Yea not working for me for London

@SwitchplayerJohn Agreed - it isn't like the online playtest where they had 10k slots, we have over a week to register

Wow, no Mexico City? Not that I'd take a flight there just to play Switch 2.

@Spider-Kev Nice observation of LA. All jokes aside, I really hope those affected by the fires are ok.

Ditto, the registration is not active for UK/London

Registration page is https://experience.nintendo.com/#/events btw

@FullCustard Thank you that worked. Don't know why they're not updating the official site.

@FullCustard that works, thank you! Just registered.

Bit rubbish you can only take guests who are in your Nintendo Account family group. The Switch 1 events let you take a random friend.

@FullCustard awesome job.. rank this comment to the top or add it to the post

@FullCustard Thanks so much!!

@FullCustard Also worked for Berlin, thanks!

@Multi Def working now.
Just done it!

NY is a 7 hour drive from my house and that's the closest one to me. So, no go for me. Lol

I'm only 2 hours away from Toronto but hate dealing with traffic in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) so that's going to be a pass for me.

@HotGoomba personally I’ll be waiting for the Switch 2 Pro experience

No love for Canadians

Good luck everyone

One of the few times I'm glad I live in this third world city (LA).

@Mana_Knight yes Nintendo finally enabled the register link on the web page..

To all those lucky enough to get accepted to the London event.. Hopefully I'll see you there!

I don’t plan on getting one until well enough after launch (forever backlog).

But a good bit of priority (at least with buying direct from Nintendo) should go to paid NSO members, while perhaps furthermore by tenure.

As for third party retailers, most / all now have a loyalty membership (Target Circle, Walmart+, etc.). Just send random ‘tickets’ to those accounts via email / text.

Should be the way going forward. Nintendo can cut well down on scalping if really want to.

Dang, some cities will get a hands on before the S2 direct is even out. Those are some lucky people!

@Multi Fingers crossed! I opted for the Saturday morning slot. Best of luck to all NL peeps.

I don't live close enough to any of these places, I wish I could go tho.

As someone in Midwest USA, guess I'll be waiting until they have store displays.

Registration for this was a complete hassle. The original one was so simple allowing you to bring a +1 if you were picked. This time around we've completely ballsed it up to register as a group, i'd added my friend to the family group but as they'd already registered i couldn't add them to my application. Now we are reliant on both separately getting chosen or we'll be going alone (or most likely not bothering and wasting a place!). Really could have done with some clear instructions or just making the process a whole lot simpler.

I love to but man those places currently out of reach right now. I will just wait for others to YouTube the experiences.

Registered for London with my son. Fingers crossed.

Last time I went to a video game event was the early 90s. Still have all of the bags from the trade stands for the likes of Ocean, Psygnosis, Codemasters etc

Registered for NYC on April 4th! Really hoping I get in. I've never been to a big video game event like this. I hope everyone on NL who registers gets in!

Fair to show it off and talks about it or whatever, glad not near Melbourne not that I would go anyway. I have no interest in Switch 2, the gimmicks are just eh. I refuse to care about it even if it's early days till more details, what's there is there and I'm done, Magnets hit and miss, Laser I think will be boringly used, bad IR placement AGAIN, SL/SR improvements. I don't like OLED so don't hate the LCD. Retro console gaming for me. Unless games are good of Vita like experiences of Switch 1 or decent 1st party hardware wise, no impressed.

If I win a ticket I will book some PTO around it. Hopefully I get a CA ticket (booked for a few cities and will fly) as I will go to the theme park as well.
