SEATTLE, Wash. — Nintendo is setting up Switch pop-up lounges at airports across the country and KOMO reports SeaTac is among the four chosen to host one.

It opens Monday and runs through March 29th.

These “On The Go” lounges will allow people to play demos on the Switch gaming console in both handheld and TV modes.

Travelers can then buy one and get a free carrying case, but the console will have to be shipped to them.

Nintendo, which is known for classic franchises such as Legend of Zelda and Mario, says it’s using these lounges to highlight the Switch’s portability.
