Before you let’s-a go on your flight, Nintendo is offering people a chance to play Switch games at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. The company built a special pop-up space that will be available for travelers to check out from now to April 20.
In fact, the event–called Nintendo Switch On the Go–even featured Mario himself over the weekend. The overall-wearing hero walked around JetBlue’s Terminal 5 at one of the world’s biggest airports to meet fans and take pictures.
Nintendo didn’t provide specifics on what Switch games were available to people at the pop-up event, though it provided the clue that you can “visit some of Mushroom Kingdom’s favorite characters” through the titles. That probably means recently released Switch exclusives like Princess Peach Showtime and the Mario vs. Donkey Kong remake. It wouldn’t be surprising if Super Mario Bros. Wonder were showcased as well.
Everyone who owns a Switch can check out Princess Peach Showtime for free right now thanks to a demo that lets you sword-fight. You can also learn more about the game, thanks to GameSpot’s Princess Peach Showtime review.
Looking ahead, Nintendo recently revealed release dates for upcoming Switch games like Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. The former is set to launch May 23, while the latter will arrive June 27. These dates seem to imply Nintendo may change its release strategy to have games come out on Thursdays instead of Fridays going forward.
