As previously covered in our article on the Nintendo Switch Direct, the showcase introduced several key features of the upcoming console, including new social capabilities, an integrated camera, and a lineup of launch titles.
Among the announcements, one of the more surprising highlights was the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour—a unique game where a developer explores the internal workings of the console.
Recent hands-on experiences have revealed key Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour games, including Guess the Frame Rate and the Super Mario Bros 4K Demo. VidoeGamesChronicle has shared its own hands-on experience with these mini games.
Importance: The Welcome Tour mini games on Nintendo Switch 2 showcase the console’s advanced graphical capabilities. These interactive experiences aim to demonstrate the system’s power through fun and educational challenges.

The first mini game, Guess the Frame Rate, challenges players to identify different frame rates by observing the movement of a ball at varying speeds.
The second mini game, Super Mario Bros 4K Demo, takes the classic Super Mario Bros. and reimagines it in stunning 4K resolution. Starting with the original NES resolution, the game gradually expands to reveal how the entire world 1-1 map can be displayed in 4K.
Informative For New Gamers, Redundant For Veterans
For gamers unfamiliar with high frame rates or 4K displays, these mini-games could be informative and engaging. However, experienced gamers with newer consoles like the Xbox Series, PS5, or gamins PCs are already accustomed with these visual differences.
Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Is A Paid Experience
Nintendo fans have expressed confusion and curiosity over the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour being a paid experience. While it’s common for game systems to include tutorials that help understand their features, they are usually not sold separately.
Many questions remain, especially since the price outside the Japan hasn’t been disclosed yet, though it’s expected to cost around $6 USD there. Nintendo is likely to provide more details in the coming months as the console’s release approaches.
In conclusion, what are your thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour’s paid mini games experience—worth it or not?
