Nintendo Switch Road Trip Tour Traveling Across The Country

Thanks to Nintendo for sponsoring this post and inviting my family for an evening of fun.

Calling all Nintendo fans! The Nintendo Switch Road Trip tour just hit the road in Chicago, IL and it might be coming to a town near you! The tour brings demos of the latest games to you with hands-on playtime and a fun Nintendo themed experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Nestled in the giant truck and pop-up tent are over a dozen game play areas. Families can play games like Super Mario Maker 2 (which was just released today!), Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and other great games for the Nintendo Switch System. There are even bucket chairs to sit in while you race your friends and family members in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The boys, their father, and I loved playing the games and even baby Emma tried to play!

The games available for demo are:

• Super Mario Maker 2 – Mario fans of the world, unite! Now you can play, create and share the side-scrolling Super Mario courses of your dreams in the Super Mario Maker 2 game, available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch system. Dive into the single-player Story Mode and play built-in courses to rebuild Princess Peach’s castle. Make your own courses or team up with a friend to make some together. And with a Nintendo Switch Online membership, share your courses, access a near-endless supply of courses made by others and enjoy online* multiplayer.

Wait till you see the 2 vs 2 mode with grid-based maps, the creative uses of the console, and the series’ first online minigame mode!
