The Nintendo Switch finally released just a few days ago, with a special launch party held in a New York-based store where Nintendo’s Doug Bowser sold the very first Nintendo Switch to a customer. Additionally, the third and final of Nintendo’s “Unexpected Places” event for the Switch took place in Madison Square Park, where local fans could try out the console for themselves.
Nintendo has shared a collection of photos from both events, which you can view below.
