Nintendo Switch Pop-Up Lounge Coming to O’Hare Airport

Feb. 12, 2020

Nintendo wants to make airport waits a little less dreary with the addition of a pop-up lounge featuring its gaming system at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, starting Monday.

The Japanese video game giant will open its free Nintendo Switch On The Go lounge at O’Hare from Feb. 17 through March 29. Travelers can play games on televisions or through a handheld version of the Nintendo Switch. Games will include The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Party and Tetris 99.

Nintendo’s lounge will have “comfortable seating,” charging ports and kiosks where travelers can order limited products for home delivery. The lounge will not offer physical products for purchase.

The pop-up will open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. daily at Terminal 1, Concourse B, between gates B12 and B14.

The pop-ups also will be at Dulles International Airport outside Washington, D.C., Seattle’s Tacoma International Airport and Dallas Love Field Airport through March.
