Play Nintendo Tour 2024 announced

The Play Nintendo Tour is returning, this time for the Summer 2024 reason. It will run between June 13 and September 2.

By attending the free event, fans can “explore the endless adventure and fun of Nintendo and the Nintendo Switch system at various stops across the nation.” The tour features photo-ops with Nintendo characters, giveaways (while supplies last), and playable demos of Switch titles.

Here’s the full rundown as to what’s planned:

• Are you afraid of ghosts? Summon your courage like Luigi for a frightfully fitting photo-op from the Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD game, launching on June 27.
• Walk the red carpet, snap a pic at the showstopping photo-op and take the stage as Peach to save the Sparkle Theater with a demo of the Princess Peach: Showtime! game. During her theatrical adventure, she’ll transform into a number of exciting personas, from Swordfighter Peach to Patissiere Peach – play around and discover your favorite!
• Share the wonder with friends and family in the Super Mario Bros. Wonder game demo! Experience classic Mario gameplay transformed by the magic of Wonder Flowers. Play as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toads, Toadette, Yoshi and Nabbit and discover your new favorite power-ups!
• Rev up your engines with Mario and friends for all of the exciting speedways to be found in both the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass DLC.
• Pose for a photo with Pikachu and learn about some of the powerful and playful Pokémon that can be encountered in the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games.
• Plus even more! Enjoy demos of Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Nintendo Switch Sports, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Pikmin 4, Just Dance 2024 and starting July 18, Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition. Then join Tom Nook and Isabelle from Animal Crossing: New Horizons for a fun island-themed photo-op.
• Parents can join their kids in plenty of themed fun and activities for the whole family at the event, including personality quizzes, jumbo puzzles featuring Mario and friends, memory matching games and an opportunity to try your hand at the claw machine to snag fun items, just to name a few. The tour even has a dedicated area where attendees can learn more details about the Nintendo Switch system and find some recommended games based on their family’s favorite characters.

When attendees show up for the Play Nintendo Tour 2024, they’ll be given a passport. This can be used to collect stickers after participating in various activities. Completing a passport provides fans with free Nintendo goodies such as Play Nintendo bracelets, coloring pages, and a free Nintendo Switch Online 14-day trial code (while supplies last) as well as a chance to use the claw machine to snag character plushies. If you have a Nintendo Account, you can also check in with My Nintendo and receive a Super Mario themed gift item (while supplies last) and 100 My Nintendo Platinum Points.
