Nintendo is bringing Switch lounges to select U.S. airports from now until March.
Major airports across the United States will feature these pop-up Switch lounges. They will provide hands-on time with the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch Lite. Each lounge features comfortable seating and charging ports – both things at a premium in busy airports.
Games that will be playable at the experience include The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Party, and Tetris 99. Nintendo says others will be available, so we assume that means a few indie games on display.
Travelers who decide to buy a Nintendo Switch on the spot receive a free carrying case with their order. Visitors who stop by will receive a free $10 coupon from Target for use on any Nintendo purchase $75 or more.
“With a vast library of exciting entertainment to launch into, we hope travelers discover that Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite make great companions for their trips. Spending time with Nintendo games at our On The Go lounges will give people the opportunity to begin or end their journeys with a smile.”
Nick Chavez, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Nintendo of America
