EvanTubeHD visits Nintendo Switch Playhouse in Toronto

Nintendo Canada recently hosted its annual holiday preview event but this year was a little different. It was the first year they turned an entire historical house on Church Street in Toronto into a multi-level fun house and aptly named it the Nintendo Switch Playhouse.

Brimming with larger than screen life characters, gaming stations with the opportunity to play the latest Nintendo Switch Games including Luigi Mansion 3, RingFit Adventure, and Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield all to get us excited for the holiday season. (Hey, Santa, this momma needs the RingFit game!). The supersized Playhouse also extended the fun to a few lucky families to explore and get firsthand experience with the new titles.

One of the biggest highlights was having kid YouTube sensation EvanTubeHD in attendance. Evan is considered one of the biggest YouTube stars on the planet. The 13-year-old has been sharing toy reviews online ever since he was 6 years old. How big of a star is he? How about 11.6 million followers across his three YouTube Channels, big. Judging by the look on my nephew’s face, this was a mega deal. Evan and his family travelled to Toronto recently to meet with fans at the Nintendo Switch Playhouse and we had the opportunity to chat with him during his visit.
