Held at Melbourne’s Olympic Park, Nintendo fans filled the Centrepiece venue to experience the new console a month before launch.

The featured games included Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bonanza, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond—showcasing the Switch 2’s innovative mouse control feature.

The Nintendo Switch 2 launches in Australia on June 5. (Nine)

Upgraded Zelda titles and third-party games like Split Fiction were also there for gamers to play.

The new console is set to be a big leap forward compared to the original Switch, with updated visuals and hardware.
