Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour was a nice little surprise in the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, giving the new system its own little Astro's Playroom-style experience to let players learn more about their new console. But all the excitement was quickly washed away when it was revealed that – unlike Astro – it's going to be a paid title rather than a free pack-in.
While Welcome Tour is only going to be $9.99, many are perplexed as to why Nintendo would charge for this at all, including ex-PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida. During an appearance on the Easy Allies podcast, host Daniel Bloodworth asked Yoshida what he thought of the decision to charge $10 for the game, to which he simply replied, "I just don't understand." He continued, "you would want everyone to experience that, right? You would have a better understanding of the Switch 2 and become a fan of the system."
