There will be three Nintendo Switch 2 Experience events happening in the United States. Here are the events for each date, along with where they’re going to be held:

  • New York: April 4 – April 6 at Center415, 5th Ave
  • Los Angeles: April 11 – April 13 at Television City, Beverly Blvd
  • Dallas: April 25 – April 27 at Embarcadero Building, Admiral Nimitz Dr.

If you’ve got so🧔me time on your hands and can get to any of these locations on the specified dates, then you might just be lucky enough to experience the new console before it gets released. Here’s how you can try your luck at getting some tickets to the Switch 2 Experience. 

How to enter the drawing for the Switch 2 Experience

Tickets 🌺to the hands-on experience event will be made available through a randomly selected drawing that’s free to enter, as long as you have a Nintendo Account in order to register,  reside within the United States, and are at least 18 years old.

Registration will open on January 17 at 12 p.m. PT and will close on January 26 at 11:59 p.m. local time. To register, visit the Switch 2 Experieꦗnce website and select your desired event location before register⛦ing.

As long as you’ve registered during that time period, you stand a chance to have your name pulled from the pool of entrants. If yo🌌u’re lucky and get chosen, you’ll receive an email to the address that your Nintendo Account is registered under. 

Don’t worry, you won’t end up having to travel any𝔍 further than you originally intended. You can enter for each experience individually, ensuring that you don’t end u🐼p with tickets to the Los Angeles event and a need to frantically book plane tickets. 

If you have a Nintendo Account ꦿFamily group, you can also register up to five members alongside yourself. If you win, then they’ll win too as long as their Nintendo Account is linked to the Family group, allowing them to enter the event as your guests. 

Further details about what will actually be happening at these events will likely be revealed during the next Nintendo Direct event on April 2, along with additional details about the Switch ꧙2 itself.
