The Nintendo Switch is going on a 'world tour' in the new year
|

Select lucky Canadians/Americans are in a very favourable situation at the moment as Nintendo's announced that the Switch is going on tour.

Following a very entertaining TV debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the Switch will be hitting major cities in the new year, starting with New York on the 13th January (and the full list of dates below).

One slice of bad news is that this isn't an open event, at least not initially. The first two days are invitation-only, whereas on the final day a selection of the public will be allowed in.

However according to Engadget its final two stops will be at PAX East and SXSW. At these events the procedure will be much more of an average game show affair, allowing full access to the public - and probably a line several hours long.

One would hope that 'world tour' lives up to its name after the showings in America/Canada are over. Fingers crossed Nintendo will bring the Switch to more countries before its release.

  • New York - January 13th - 15th
  • Toronto - January 27th - 29th
  • Washington - February 10th - 12th
  • Chicago - February 24th - 26th
  • Los Angeles - March 3rd - 5th
