Nintendo Direct Announced for Switch 2

Nintendo's Switch 2 Nintendo Direct is set for 6 AM PT on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025 (9 AM ET, 2 PM UK time). This presentation promises a detailed look at the Switch 2, following its brief unveiling last month.

The initial reveal showcased the Switch 2's design, hinted at Mario Kart 9, and teased a potential Joy-Con "mouse" mode. However, many questions remain unanswered, including the function of a new Joy-Con button, the console's processing power, and the intended use of its new ports.

The Direct is anticipated to unveil the Switch 2's launch game lineup and release date (predicted between June and September 2025). Hopefully, the price, speculated to be $400 by analysts, will also be revealed.

Speculation surrounding Switch 2's game library is growing. A substantial list of rumored third-party titles is circulating. Firaxis, developer of Civilization 7, described the potential Joy-Con mouse mode as "definitely intriguing" in an IGN interview. Nacon, a French publisher, confirmed it has Switch 2 games ready for release. Hollow Knight: Silksong is also rumored for the platform. Furthermore, EA recently suggested Madden, FIFA, and The Sims would be suitable for the Switch 2.
