10 Recent Video Games That Have Already Been Forgotten
5. Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour
It's not unfair to say that Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour will be best remembered - if it will at all - for the controversy surrounding its price rather than anything about the actual game itself.
A mini-game collection designed as an introduction to the Switch 2 hardware, it was widely expected to be a free pack-in game, only for Nintendo to actually charge £7.99/$10 for the pleasure.
People understandably complained about Nintendo charging for something so barebones when Sony dared to release the decidedly more sophisticated Astro's Playroom as a free PS5 pack-in on launch.
But it took no more than a few days for Switch 2 Welcome Tour to evaporate from the cultural consciousness - the people who were always going to buy it did just that, and everyone else was too busy enjoying Mario Kart World to give it another thought.
And it's safe to say that the mediocre critical reviews didn't vindicate Welcome Tour at all.
