This time it&#8217;s for the Switch 2 museum-like experience <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/nintendo-switch-2-welcome-tour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Welcome Tour<\/a>, which Nintendo has confirmed will be a paid title.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the estimated file size, according to the page listing on Nintendo&#8217;s official Japanese website. Keep in mind file sizes are subject to change between now and release, and games could also receive updates post-launch.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to certain other Switch 2 games revealed so far, as you can see, Welcome Tour will be a lot smaller. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/mario-kart-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mario Kart World<\/a> seems to be the biggest first-party title so far, coming in at around 23GB.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/nintendo-switch-2-welcome-tour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour<\/a> &#8211; 2.0GB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Again, Nintendo has confirmed Welcome Tour will be a paid game, priced at <strong>$9.99<\/strong> at launch. This admittedly hasn&#8217;t been well received &#8211; with even the former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aim\u00e9 reminding everyone how he was instrumental in making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wii\/wii_sports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wii Sports<\/a> a pack-in title back in the day.<\/p>\n<p>In case you missed it, the Switch 2 will include a total of <strong>256GB<\/strong> internal storage which is a huge step up from the original Switch&#8217;s 32GB of internal storage. You can find out details about more Switch 2 game file sizes and Welcome Tour in our previous post on Nintendo Life. We&#8217;ve even gone &#8216;hands on&#8217; with this new game.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Switch 2 Welcome Tour\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b32c56353738c\/switch-2-welcome-tour.large.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1745401331_872_switch-2-welcome-tour.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Switch 2 Welcome Tour\"\/><\/a>Image: Nintendo<\/p>\n<p>Will you be getting Welcome Tour on Switch 2?
