The Switch 2 Experience is currently underway and fans have finally had the chance to go 'hands on' in select locations around the world. Nintendo has now put together a reel highlighting some of the positive impressions at this event so far - with most players seemingly more than happy with how the system feels and the display. Here's this brief video in full.
We've also got some other impressions of the 'Switch 2 Experience' so far from some super fans and Nintendo enthusiasts: Owen Fuzz : "So, over the weekend I attended a Switch 2 Experience event and got to spend four hours playing a bunch of Switch 2 games...
the screen is a clear step up from the LCD on the OG Switch, even if I can see OLED owners sticking their noses up at it. Hopefully we'll see lots of 120Hz games (*inhales copium*)" Jamie Alimorad : "Had a great time at the #switch2experience yesterday! The #Switch2 is beautiful and the games are a blast!" Paul Gale : "Here’s to playing more next generation excellence at the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in Los Angeles! My son is impressed with the system and games..
.just like me!" chiara : "i had such a fun time at this experience! i cannot believe how well put together this event was, and it’s really sold me on the switch 2. i was skeptical of buying it at first, but after getting to test it out for myself i’m so excited to get my hands on one.
" ItachiCosplays : "Nintendo Switch 2 Experience photo dumb thread. Didn't take too many great pics, but the event was a TON of fun. Got to play 8 games total, with Mario Kart being the longest experience.
I even got to win Knockout Tour twice. It was a TON of fun. Can't wait for June 5th" Kurono : Switch 2 is fun! Mario Kart World definitely surprised me the most, had more fun than I expected.
Switch 2 Experience did not change my thoughts after the Direct earlier this week, but hopefully things improve...
BenBWoodford : Mariokart world definitely the highlight what a game this is going to be SuperNindado : "Wow, switch 2 meets the hype! No OLED no probs! Feels a premium product. MKW feels fresh and is such an upgrade in carnage with 24 players, DK feels like Mario with a wrecking ball, MP4 looked and felt next gen, CP2077 was unbelievably looking and running incredibly on handheld.'" SteakAndIron : "Just did the Los Angeles switch 2 experience.
I'm so sold. Yeah I'm sold. It was incredible.
And yeah, Mario kart is an absolute slam dunk" jpxdude : "When you hold the unit, it feels extra solid with no wobble. I forgot the controllers actually detach lol. The kick stand is also stiff and can be set at any level it seems.
I am extra hyped for June 5th. Everyone looking forward to a unit is in for a treat!" As a reminder, the Switch 2 Experience is taking place across the globe in the leadup to the system's release on 5th June 2025 .
