Nintendo Switch 2 "Welcome Tour" game is not fun

I'd like to recommend against the "Welcome Tour" game on the Nintendo Switch 2. Judging from the first level only, it's not worth its modest price. It's not worth your time.

It's not fun.

That should be the mic drop, but I will add the key detail that it doesn't seem to have a track for people wholly new to the ecosystem. It seems to presume that the user is already familiar with the Switch 1 and wants to know what is better about the Switch 2.

That... is not optimum. People do change from consoles. We did it when we switched to Playstation from Nintendo products. You need to treat each console as it's own thing, or have one track for new-to-console and one for upgrading console.

This seems like the stupidest design! You'd think new users would be the people who would want the console walkthrough most of all, while users moving over from the previous version probably lean more heavily towards power users and/or people who already know the system pretty well. (Even apart from the unfun aspects.)
