Here’s where to register for the Switch 2 hands-on event in London

Nintendo has officially announced Switch 2, and players in London will get the chance to play it early.

Nintendo will be holding the Switch 2 Experience at the Excel in London over the course of three days, from April 11-13.

You can’t just walk up on the day and play Switch 2, however – you have to apply in advance.

Registration for free tickets starts on January 17 at 2pm UK time, and closes on January 26 at 23.59pm UK time.

If you want to attend you’ll have to visit Nintendo’s official Switch 2 Experience website, where you’ll be given a link to register once booking opens on January 17.

According to Nintendo, the free tickets will be available via a randomly selected draw, which means it won’t be first-come, first-servce.

As such, you don’t have to be sitting on the website at 2pm on January 17 frantically clicking – as long as you register by the end of January 26, you should have as much of a chance as anyone else.

You can either register as an individual or as a group of up to six people. If you’re registering alone you must have a Nintendo Account, and if you’re registering as a group then every member needs to have a Nintendo Account linked to the same Nintendo Account Family group.
