Nintendo Switch 2 Experience: Dates, locations, and how to register for a ticket

gamesradar.com:

There's a Nintendo Switch 2 Experience set to go live this April, designed to give some lucky players the opportunity to get their hands on the Switch 2 ahead of its expected release in 2025. Nintendo announced the in-person events following the reveal of the Switch 2, a short teaser trailer which gave us a first glimpse at the new design and confirmation of an incoming Nintendo Direct which will dive into further detail. 

Still, as exciting as all that is, we're really keen to get more information on the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience. We're still left to speculate on potential upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games, after all – although there are early signs pointing towards Mario Kart 9 being one of the first launch titles. While we wait for more on that front, let's get you caught up on the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience, including the confirmed dates, locations, and how you can register for a ticket to join the live event. 

The Nintendo Switch 2 Experience is a hands-on event hosted by Nintendo. It's designed to give players a first opportunity to come together and see the new system in-person, and get hands-on with some of the games which will be available at launch. Nintendo is yet to confirm what exactly will be at the Switch 2 Experience, but we'd expect it to be reflective of the launch lineup – the publisher held similar events back in 2016/2017 after it revealed the original Switch. Either way, while we wait for more info, below you'll find details on how to enter the raffle to get a ticket and which locations and dates the company has planned around the world. 

If you want to attend the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience you'll need a ticket. This is a limited-capacity event, with tickets made available through a free-to-enter, randomly selected drawing. Registration is open from Jan. 17 at 12 p.m. PT / 2 p.m. CT / 3 p.m. ET until Jan. 26 at 11:59 p.m. local time for each Event location.
