LibbyNintendo provided me with hours-long no-friend-o fun for me as a kid. NES cartridges stacked up ready for marathon gaming sessions are what my fondest childhood memories are built on. Because Mario and his band of bros were keeping me company a new world was only another cartridge away. From the rolling hills of Hyrule to the epic landscapes of side-scrolling Mega Man, I had the chance to explore and imagine a world different from my own four walls. Sound familiar?
We’ve all been in some form of a bubble on and off for the last few years. With camp closures and vacations getting cancelled, I’m taking solace once again in my favourite escapes. And with new titles for Nintendo Switch rolling out all summer long, it’s hard to pick and choose which epic adventure to go on first.
Now, gamer girls (and guys) of all ages can check out the Nintendo Switch Summer Experience for free.
READY, SET, MARIO! THE NINTENDO SWITCH SUMMER EXPERIENCE AWAITS
With stops in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec, visitors will be greeted by familiar faces and energized installations to try new games.
