The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct is scheduled for 6am PT on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, equivalent to 9am ET and 2pm UK time.
Nintendo plans to provide an in-depth look at the Switch 2, building on last month’s brief console reveal.
That initial teaser showcased the Switch 2’s design, hinted at a possible Mario Kart 9, and suggested a new ‘mouse’ mode for the updated Joy-Con controllers.
Key questions remain about the Switch 2, including the function of a mysterious new Joy-Con button, the console’s performance capabilities, and the purpose of its new ports.
The upcoming Nintendo Direct is expected to reveal the full Switch 2 launch game lineup and a release date, likely between June and September 2025. Analysts anticipate the console will be priced at around $400.
Anticipation is growing for the Switch 2’s game offerings. Rumors suggest a robust lineup of third-party titles, while Firaxis, developers of Civilization 7, described the Joy-Con’s potential mouse mode as “highly compelling” in an IGN interview. Nacon, known for Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, and RoboCop: Rogue City, has confirmed it has Switch 2 titles in development. Speculation also surrounds Hollow Knight: Silksong as a potential Switch 2 title, and EA recently noted that Madden, FC, and The Sims would be well-suited for the new console.
