Many fans made that exact face (Nintendo\/Metro)

The big Nintendo<\/a> Switch 2<\/a> Direct was as frustrating as it was exciting, thanks to some odd announcements and a serious lack of communication.<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s Nintendo Direct<\/a> for the Nintendo Switch 2 should\u2019ve been an exciting time for gamers everywhere. And to a degree it was, with Nintendo and its partners announcing a wide range of new titles for various audiences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We were able to go hands-on with the console ourselves, and the likes of Mario Kart World<\/a> and Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a> are more than enough to warrant an early purchase – with the former set to be the perfect Switch 2 killer app.<\/p>\n

But even the most devout fans have to acknowledge that the Direct was not all sunshine and rainbows. There were several bizarre and infuriating decisions made, and the aftermath has proved more volatile than anyone could have expected.<\/p>\n

While we don\u2019t want to diminish peoples\u2019 hype for the Switch 2 (our glowing previews<\/a> should show we\u2019re still eager for its release), it’d be wrong not to acknowledge the fumbles that may wind up tarnishing the console\u2019s early days.<\/p>\n

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour costs money<\/h2>\n

Of all the games we experienced during our hands-on session<\/a> with the Switch 2, the only one that left us baffled was the glorified interactive instruction manual known as Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour.<\/p>\n

The mini-games and tech demos it contains are far too simple for their own good and the sterile and un-Nintendo-like presentation ensures it gets very boring, very quickly. We can\u2019t imagine any child spending more than a few minutes on it.<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be so bad if this was a free title that came pre-installed on the console, but Nintendo wants you to spend money on it. Its Japanese price of 990 yen would make it about \u00a35 or so, but according to an IGN interview<\/a> it\u2019ll cost $9.99 in the U.S., which is akin to \u00a38. Whatever the price ends up being, it\u2019ll still be too much.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s especially shocking when Astro\u2019s Playroom<\/a> for the PlayStation 5 exists. That too is essentially a tech demo, meant to introduce you to a new console and controller, but it\u2019s dressed up as a charming spectacle, full of cute robots and references to PlayStation\u2019s history. Most importantly, it is completely free.<\/p>\n
