The doors were scheduled to open at 19:00, but by 18:45 the queue had already snaked around the block—talk about eager fans! 🎮
My adventure began with the whimsical carriage ride and an absolute blast playing Mario Party �.
The sleek new console design immediately caught my eye—noticeably slimmer yet slightly larger, with premium build quality that feels fantastic in hand. The Joy-Con’s mouse mode is a game-changer for Mario Party mini-games 🐶, and works surprisingly well with METROID PRIME 4’s shooting mechanics—I’m already imagining its potential in other titles!
Speaking of METROID—wow. This might single-handedly convince me to upgrade to Switch 2. Even though the demo’s final boss handed me a defeat, the game’s brilliance shone through. The mouse mode transforms controls into something magical—so intuitive and fun!
Zelda’s dual-mode test revealed a welcome upgrade: the expanded field of view makes both handheld and docked play more immersive. The staff member and I shared a laugh calling it a “lonely game”—perfect for solo TV sessions, making the larger handheld screen nice but not essential.
My visit ended with an unexpected workout—a motion-controlled game using the camera accessory had our whole group squatting and screaming like kids 🤣. Definitely the most hilarious family-friendly experience!
Before leaving, I snapped a commemorative photo at the beautifully designed experience center 📸.
(Parisian events really know how to create perfect photo moments—love this touch!)

I totally agree that the new design is a winner—it feels like they managed to improve on perfection. Mario Party on the Joy-Con’s mouse mode was such a fun surprise, definitely one of the highlights for me. I can’t wait to see what exclusive games they’ll release for it next year!
I totally agree that the new design feels amazing—it’s such a great balance of style and functionality. The Joy-Con improvements, especially the mouse mode for games like Mario, really elevate the experience. I can’t wait to see what other creative features they’ll add in the future!
