You’ll also want to bring your camera with you as there will be a number of fun photo-ops transporting guests into the worlds of Pikmin 4 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Doors open at 6 pm, with the film expected to start around 8:30 pm. Guests are invited to bring a blanket or chair to enjoy free lawn seating available on a first-come, first-served basis.
You can register for a “Warp Pipe Pass” to secure your spot at the Nintendo Switch Cinema Experience. The first 200 guests will receive a free Nintendo plushie while supplies last.
Arriving early will also give you enough time to learn all the words to Bowser’s hit song, “Peaches.”
