The Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a $10 experience that playfully explains the console's features, but it requires additional accessories to fully complete. The tour has 12 areas that can be accessed without extra accessories, but to play and beat every minigame, additional accessories are needed. These accessories include a USB camera, a controller with GL and GR buttons, and a 4K-compatible TV. To use official Nintendo accessories, players would need to spend $55 on the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera and $85 on the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, assuming they already own a 4K TV. This adds to the overall cost of the experience, which may be a drawback for some players. Completing the Welcome Tour is not necessary, but it is ironic that the price of accessories is an issue, given that it was a major complaint about the Switch 2's answer to Wii Sports. Players who are willing to wait may want to see if the hidden secrets of Welcome Tour are worth the extra cost. Others may prefer to spend their time unlocking characters in Mario Kart World. The Welcome Tour's cost can be misleading, as it requires a significant investment in accessories to fully experience it. Overall, the true cost of completing the Welcome Tour is much higher than the initial $10 price tag.
