There's a lot of new tech and features that were revealed during the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 Direct today, but fortunately for us all there's a game called Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. It looks like a cross between PlayStation Home and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Astro's Playroom.

There's a lot to learn about the Switch 2. It has a magnetic Joy Con, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:each can turn into a computer mouse; we finally know that its C button opens up a 澳洲幸ꦦ运5开奖号码历史查询:Discord-style chat and ♕screen sharing feature; and it has a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:120fps 1080p display.

To help you get to grips with all the new features is t🦩he Welcome Tour game. It places small people, not Miis, inside and on top of the hardware, and you can wander around and ༺interact with question marks to learn more about each piece of kit.

It's less of a game than Astro's Playroom and more like an intera✤ctive digital user manual, but unlike Astro's Playroom, you'll have to pay for it.

While it does look like a cu꧋te, simple way to teach us about the Switch 2, I'm salty about having to pay for it. We haven't actually been told the♏ price yet, but I hope it's very cheap.

"You have𝓡 to PAY for an intro info guide with the Switch 2 Welcome Tour? I'm dead bro," one incredulous pe♉rson.

"Welcome tour should NOT 🐎be a paid game that s**t should come for free," another. "They were talking about that Welcome Tour game and I thought that s**t was fre𝔉e the entire time lmao. S**t looks cool as f**k for a free game but nobody buying that," another.

I don't think I'll be buying Welcome Tour, but you should check out our list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Switch 2 games to see what you do want to buy.
