A Nintendo Online account w⛎ill be required to participate

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 reveal has come, and ahead of its unspecified 2025 release date, the first chance to try the new console is coming this April alongside a more in-depth 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Direct. As ever, our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 live coverage has all the current news in one place.
Nintendo announced a suite of Nintendo 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Switch 2 hands-on events for multiple regions. To participate in any of these 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 Experience events, you'll need to register for tickets. The requirements for registration are simple: have a Nintendo Online account and be at least 18 years old. Parents or guardians will have to register on behalf of anyone age 13 or younger. For at least the events in the US – websites are still being updated, but we can reasonably expect this to be a global policy in line with similar events – you'll also n⛎eed to be a confꦉirmed resident.
Ticket registration opens tomorrow, January 17 at 12pm PT / 2pm CT / 3pm ET / 8pm GMT and will be openꦏ until January 26 at 11:59pm local time. You can register as a Nintendo Account Family group of up to six. For non-family groups of two o🐬r more, everyone will need their own Nintendo account, and you'll all need to attend "during the same session."
Once registered, you'll be entered into an upcoming "randomly selected drawing" which will assign actual tickets. The drawing is free, but "there is no guarantee you will be selected to receive a ticket." Nintendo was quick to stress that registering early doesn't boost your odds, either. "Everyone who registers will have an equal chance of being seleღcted," the company sayꦑs.
Walk-up tickets won't be available, tickets are non-transferable, and "there's a limit of one ticketed entry per Nintendo Account or Nintendo Account Family group per location," per an . If you are selected in th🧸e drawing, you'll get an email (from "no-reply@noa.nintendo.com" only) at the address tied to your Nintendo account. "You’ll receive more details and information about the event via email as the date nears," Nintendo says.
