Nintendo Switch Heads Across the U.S. for an Interactive Road Trip for Kids and Families
Nintendo is hitting the road and the Nintendo Switch games will not only come along, they’ll come to life!
The Nintendo Switch Road Trip tour kicks off in June and will travel the nation through October, eventually hitting the Georgia National Fair in Perry.
Tour visitors will have the opportunity to explore interactive spaces featuring playable demos of some of the hottest Nintendo Switch games of the summer like Super Mario Maker 2 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, among others.
“The Nintendo Switch Road Trip highlights the portability of Nintendo Switch as we travel the country to bring our games directly to fans,” Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said in a press release. “Whether you’re visiting a state fair or just out for a day with the family, our event provides an opportunity to relax, play some games and have some fun.”
The space offers:
- a warp pipe-filled stage to play the Super Mario Maker 2 game
- a neon-colored paradise for the Splatoon 2 game
- a large-screen TV and bucket race car seats for the high-octane Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game
- photo opportunities
- Nintendo-themed challenges
- Target discount coupons that will be handed out at all stops (while supplies last).
