Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour

- Perfect: No noticeable issues start to finish
- Playable: Can be finished; minor glitches or slowdowns
- In-game: Gets in-game, but issues get in the way
- Menus: Reaches the title screen or menus only
- Boots: Starts, then hangs on a black screen or intro
- Nothing: Does not start
As of November 5, 2026, no emulator can play it properly. Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a digital-only Switch 2 exclusive, and official Eden builds don't support it. Among the unofficial Eden forks that appeared in late October (not affiliated with the Eden team), Eden-NS2 says in its own notes that it boots but runs very slowly, reaching the opening and the tour; the author of the Orchid fork reports 30fps on Linux, but your own character is fully black; an Eglantine fix note says it only plays the intro video with no 3D gameplay yet, and a Linux user with Intel integrated graphics reports it crashing immediately; and the Android fork Eden SX2A says it can crash after character creation. Apart from that crash report these are all the projects' own claims, with no independent press testing yet, and there are no reports for Mac or iPhone/iPad.
