The development team behind the polarisingNintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tourhas finally been confirmed to beNintendoCube, who are best known for the recentMario Partygames.
If there’s onecomplaint surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 that’s really hard to argue against, it’s the lack of new games to play.Sure, Mario Kart World is a big one that we’ve all been waiting for, and there are some great upgrades for original Switch games but,until Bananza in two weeks, that’s really your lot.
To make matters worse, one of the things thatNintendo released alongside the Switch 2 is really hard to even categorise as a game. I am, of course, talking about Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, which looked like a pack-in when it was first revealed andthen turned out to be a “game” you have to buy.

Not much of a party for this one
Those poor optics and the lack of much gameplay no doubt contributed toNintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour becoming the worst-reviewed Nintendo game in ten years. That’s right, it’s really that much of a miss from Nintendo, leaving many of us wondering who exactly was behind its development.
Despite how cageyNintendo has become recently about revealing who is making its games, we finally know who developed (or is responsible for, if you want to be mean like me) Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour.As pointed out by Nintendo Lifeand GamesRadar+, the team behind Welcome Tour is Nintendo Cube, who is most known for its recent Mario Party games.
This was confirmed by the developer itself over on its official website, which lists Welcome Tour as one of its most recently released titles. Nintendo Cube developed several of the most recent Mario Party games, alongside Everybody 1-2 Switch, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
While Nintendo Cube are seemingly the main team behind Welcome Tour, it also appears to have had some involvement from Nintendo EPD.
While there are certainly some misses in that lineup, none of them are quite on the level of Switch 2’s Welcome Tour. Of course, most of that backlash comes down to the game not really being a game at all and also not being packed in with the Switch 2 like we all assumed it would be, but it’s still a bit of a surprising miss from Nintendo Cube.
