Play on Nintendo Switch 2: what the in-store demo includes
This isn’t your average product demo. We’ve teamed up with Nintendo Experience Specialists to deliver a premium, interactive experience that puts the controller in your hands. Guests will enjoy a dedicated 20-minute session of gameplay, guided by a specialist who can answer your questions, walk you through new features, and help you get the most out of your demo time. This includes learning the controls, trying out different characters and modes, and completing one Mario Kart Grand Prix.
The store setup and demo experience may vary slightly by location, but you can count on an exciting hands-on opportunity to discover the Nintendo Switch 2 firsthand. The gameplay will be displayed on Samsung TVs, showcasing stunning visuals that highlight the Nintendo Switch 2’s upgraded performance and crisp graphics.

Let the countdown begin!
I learn about this event from Jon Scarr. I wish it happened to the Best Buy close to me (Saint John, New-Brunswick). But it’s great learning what the even was about!
Thanks Jon for the heads up on this promotion. I was happy to find out that we would have the chance to get the Switch 2 coin that was offered at Best Buy in the US here in Canada.
I was able to visit last weekend with my wife and kids and we all got to try Mario Kart World on a huge 85 inch TV. We had a lot of fun and learned about the system and when I’m ready for my next TV purchase I’m going to be heading back to Best Buy to pick one up.
Thanks again to Best Buy Canada and Nintendo Canada for setting this all up and for Jon for passing the info on to all of us Nintendo Fans!
We checked out the demo after Jon told us about it; it was fun! We got to learn about the Switch 2 and Mario Kart World from knowledgeable personnel. We had a blast playing, too! We even got to keep a super cool collectible coin. Thanks, Best Buy!
