Nintendo’s road trip is back this summer, with the Switch experience

Remember when Nintendo used to travel the country, hitting shopping malls and events, with Switch showcases? Well they’re doing it again.

Bringing back the fun

With the pandemic winding down (in most of the country) Nintendo has once again gassed up the bus and is set to head out on the open road. The destination? FUN.

Well, actually the destination is mainly ‘shopping malls’, but you get the drift. That’s the say that the great Nintendo Switch Road Trip is here, and will be canvasing the US this summertime.

If you remember, prior to the pandemic years, Nintendo did this kind of thing quite often. Basically, it entails little popup shops, where people can buy stuff, as well as play some of the latest in Switch hardware and games.

The OLED Switch console will of course be there, with a selection of newer (and yet to launch) titles. Amongst the games scheduled to appear will be (according to Nintendo) “Nintendo Switch Sports, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Mario Strikers: Battle League, which launches on June 10.”

Kind of cool too, that among the places the display will appear is this year’s SDCC. Just like old times. Scroll down to see the full list of places and happenings.
