Nintendo Switch 2 Direct Airs Date Set

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

The initial reveal showcased the console's design, hinted at Mario Kart 9, and teased a potential "mouse" mode for the new Joy-Cons. However, many questions remain, including the function of a mysterious 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 (expected between June and September 2025). Hopefully, the price, predicted by analysts to be $400, will also be announced.

Speculation about the Switch 2's game library is growing. A substantial list of rumored third-party titles is circulating, and Firaxis, the developer of Civilization 7, expressed interest in the Joy-Con's mouse mode. Nacon, a prominent video game publisher, confirmed its readiness with Switch 2 titles. Further fueling anticipation, Hollow Knight: Silksong is rumored for the platform, and EA suggested Madden, FIFA, and The Sims would be suitable additions.
