Nintendo has revealed that the developer behind the Switch 2 launch title Welcome Tour is Nintendo Cube, known for creating various mini-game collections. This interactive game serves as both a fun experience and an instructional manual for the new console, though many fans have criticized its absence as a free pack-in title. Nintendo Cube has previously been behind successful titles in the Mario Party series, taking over from 2012 onwards. However, recent projects like Everybody 1-2 Switch garnered poor reviews, raising concerns about the quality of Welcome Tour. Critics have labeled it a collection of simplistic tech demos rather than a compelling game.

What is the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour and how does it work?

The Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a mini-game collection that introduces players to the new console's features. It utilizes mouse controls and optional camera peripherals to engage users in various games, but it has been criticized for its execution and quality of content.

Nintendo Cube, founded in 2000, specializes in mini-game collections and is best known for revitalizing the Mario Party series starting from Mario Party 9. While they have struggled with recent releases, they have a storied history of production within the Nintendo ecosystem, making them a key player in the development of party games for Nintendo consoles.
