THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY You can pre-register for the event on the website. Via Nintendo Several different campuses will be part of the Nintendo Switch Together Tour. The schedule for the event can be seen below: Northwestern University September 30th - October 1st, 11:00AM - 5:00PM (CST) The University of Iowa October 3rd - 4th, 11:00AM - 5:00PM (CST) University of Missouri-Kansas City October 7th - 8th, 11:00AM - 5:00PM (CST) Kansas State University October 14th - 15th, 11:00AM - 5:00PM (CST) Oklahoma State University October 21st - 22nd, 11:00AM - 5:00PM (CST) The University of Texas at Dallas October 24th - 25th, 11:00AM - 5:00PM (CST) The University of Arizona November 7th - 8th, 11:00AM - 5:00PM (MST) UCLA November 12th - 13th, 11:00AM - 5:00PM (PST) University of California Riverside November 20th - 21st, 11:00AM - 5:00PM (PST) As seen above, this is quite a wide selection of campuses across the country. This appears somewhat similar to Nintendo's tour to various state fairs around the country, bringing Switch consoles and games along for people to demo. In this case, it is specifically for college students, which is a demographic likely to show up for the event. Although, professors might join as well, so be prepared for a game of Smash against your Psychology professor. As for the games being presented, it is an admirable selection. Super Mario Party, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are definite no-brainers for an event like this, though bringing along The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening also seems to be a good idea since it stands out as the latest single-player experience from Nintendo, and is receiving widespread praise.
