Get ready to immerse yourself in the next generation of gaming! Japan-based Nintendo, the creator of iconic games such as Super Mario Bros., is inviting select guests to be among the first to experience the Nintendo Switch 2, the long-awaited successor to the beloved Nintendo Switch system.
There are only three cities in the United States where this exclusive sneak peek is happening: New York, Los Angeles and Dallas.
These exclusive hands-on events will give you the chance to explore its cutting-edge features, innovative gameplay and enhanced performance before its official release later this year, according to Nintendo (via Reddit).

When And Where You Can Try The New Switch
The Nintendo Switch 2 event in Dallas is set to take place at the Embarcadero Building at Fair Park from April 25 to April 27.
Attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to get hands-on experience with the highly anticipated new system before its official release, but details about which games will be available to play and the duration of play sessions remain unknown.
Nintendo Switch 2 will be released in 2025. The console will be compatible with both Nintendo Switch 2 and original Nintendo Switch games.
What To Expect From The New Switch
According to Kotaku, a first look trailer by Nintendo shows a more advanced, streamlined version of the 2017 hardware, which has sold over 150 million consoles. The updated joy-cons are now black, replacing the previous red and blue, and the right joy-con features a new, enigmatic c-button. These controllers attach to the screen — now larger with a thinner bezel — using magnets.
