The Nintendo Switch 2 Experience is set to be a must-attend event for video game and gaming enthusiasts. Held under the glass roof of the Grand Palais in Paris, this exclusive event will give attendees a sneak preview of the eagerly-awaited Nintendo Switch 2, due for release later this year. Here’s everything you need to know about this unique event.
The Switch 2 invites itself to Paris for a sneak preview
Scheduled for April 4 to 6, 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience event will mark one of the first opportunities for the public to test the new console before its official release later this year. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the Nintendo Switch 2’s new features, including its larger screen, new magnetic Joy-Cons, and partial backward compatibility with games from the first Switch. Fans will also be able to discover exclusive game demos, including the highly anticipated Mario Kart 9, which will be presented at the Nintendo Direct on April 2, 2025
To take part in this free event, you need to register between January 17 at 3pm and January 26 at 11:59pm via Nintendo’s official website. As places are limited, a random draw will determine the lucky participants. Each participant must have a free Nintendo account to register, and it is possible to submit an individual or group registration (up to six people per group).
The Grand Palais, located in the heart of Paris, will provide an exceptional setting for this event. The majestic nave will welcome visitors in an immersive atmosphere, where they can test the console in optimal conditions. The event is part of a European tour that will also take in London, Berlin, Milan, Amsterdam and Madrid over the coming weeks.
