Invites for the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience event are now being sent out.

Following the long-awaited reveal of the Nintendo Switch successor, Nintendo announced that it would be holding an exclusive preview event, offering fans the opportunity to get a closer look at the console ahead of its release.

Sign-ups went live earlier this month and official invites have now been sent out to a selection of lucky members of the public.

Those who did get an invite received confirmation via their emails, verifying their entry and the designated location they registered for, and have since been sharing their excitement through social media.

For fans who were rejected, Nintendo has now confirmed that there could be an opportunity to attend the preview event in the case of cancellations. Waitlists are also scheduled to open on January 29 and will be available on a "first-come, first-served basis".
