Nintendo's just-announced Switch 2 will be available to play in London on April 11th to 13th.

A worldwide hands-on tour for the public to try the new console ahead of launch has just been announced, with dates running from early April - just after the big Switch 2 Nintendo Direct - until the beginning of June.

Perhaps, after that, is when Switch 2 will actually launch?
