Nintendo Switch Experience @ Osaka

Just like in other countries, Nintendo held several hands-on event for the Nintendo Switch in Japan. And today, the company announced there would be one more (the last one before launch): it will take place this week-end in Osaka (at Grand Front Osaka), on February 25th and February 26th (10.30AM to 6PM).

There will be two “corners”:

one where players will be able to try out The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for 20 minutes. They will be able to play the game in TV Mode and Handheld Mode, if they want. To play, you will need a ticket distributed from 8AM, on first-come first-served basis. Unfortunately, you will not be able to wait in line during the night before the event;
one where players will be able to try out the console itself, and its features such as HD Rumble with 1-2-Switch (and more…), for 5 minutes.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U, Switch), and 1-2-Switch (Switch) will be released on March 3rd, worldwide.
