I'm a sucker for these little tech demos. 1, 2, Switch was a great rental back in the day, and if this one's only ten bucks, I'll absolutely try it out. Anything with Gameboy Camera energy has earned my attention.

I thought this looked like it would be a fun little freebie tech demo bundled with the system, then was surprised to see it's a paid app. We'll see how much it costs, I guess.

Love the idea of this, hate the idea of having people pay for it. Like, the system is costly enough as it is. Give people one more measly reason to feel like they're getting some bang for their buck here, Nintendo. What the heck.

It's so weird that this is a paid game. Like, it's literally called "Welcome Tour" and it teaches you about different Switch 2 stuff. I'm betting it was supposed to be free but then the economic situation blah blah blah.

I'll buy it for $10 or so but if they try to $40 or $60 this, nah.

So, it appears the game is 6 bucks. Which, okay. Good. But at that price, why not just make it free?

That actually makes the decision more bizarre in some ways. Nintendo can't be struggling that bad.

It's the kind of decision that makes me wonder if they're run by the kind of people who tell their kids that "nothing in life is free" when they ask for stuff.

This looks pretty cute. And the presentation looks amazing. I love the idea of walking around in the guts of the console. It's fantastically nerdy. If the minigames are fun and plentiful, with good high score potential, I'll buy it.

I'm having fun with this. My bar so far seems to be appropriately set for this experience.

It's been fun learning about the console through experiences. The system was impressively engineered in my opinion.

I did get this, but was kinda bored by it. I just wanna skip straight to all the mini-games and tech demos!

EDIT: Okay I played more, it's pretty interesting.

Finished all the quizzes! And two or three of the tech demos were mind-blowing.

As a tech/Nintendo nerd, this was easily worth ten bucks. Make a textbook next, I want way, way more.

That said, this turned me into such a Switch 2 fanboy that it does seem like it was a missed opportunity by Nintendo to not pack it in and flex how awesome their hardware is more publicly.

I loved this experience. Would it have been more fun if it was free? Probably not, but still would have been a nice pack-in, lol. In any case, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it, which was a number of hours in the end. I didn't do all the mini games, but did do all the stamps and quizzes. Learned a lot, and it was fun!

I think it was about the right length, too, without overstaying its welcome. All in all a terrific launch experience.
