The Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a unique, $10 museum-like experience that playfully showcases the features of the Nintendo Switch 2. However, the actual cost to fully complete the experience far exceeds the initial $10 price tag. As noted by Eurogamer and various Nintendo webpages, it is not possible to complete the game without utilizing all of the Switch 2’s numerous accessories.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour features 12 distinct areas, all of which can be accessed with or without a camera. Nevertheless, to fully engage with and defeat every minigame, “additional accessories [are] required,” as stated by Nintendo. These necessary accessories include a USB camera, a controller equipped with GL and GR buttons (such as those found in the Switch 2 Pro Controller’s grips), and a 4K-compatible TV. If you opt for the official route and utilize official Nintendo accessories, the total cost would be $55 for the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera and $85 for the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, assuming you already possess a 4K TV.

While it is not necessary to 100-percent complete the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, it is amusing that price was a major point of contention regarding the Switch 2’s equivalent to Wii Sports. Now, to fully complete it, you might need to incur additional expenses for accessories.

Those who are patient (and did not pre-order) can wait and see if the hidden secrets of Welcome Tour are truly worth spending extra money on accessories. For others, it might be more enjoyable to spend time unlocking characters in Mario Kart World.
