Nintendo's Switch 2 Nintendo Direct is scheduled for 6 am PT on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025 (9 am ET, 2 pm UK time). This Direct promises a more in-depth look at the Switch 2, following its brief unveiling last month.
The initial reveal showcased the console's design, hinted at a potential Mario Kart 9 release, and teased a novel "mouse" mode for the new Joy-Cons. However, many questions remain unanswered, 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 reveal the full Switch 2 launch game lineup, a release date (likely between June and September 2025), and hopefully, the console's price (analysts predict around $400).
Speculation regarding Switch 2's game library is growing. A substantial list of rumored third-party titles is circulating, with Firaxis (developers of Civilization 7) expressing interest in the Joy-Con mouse mode. Nacon, a prominent game publisher, has confirmed readiness with Switch 2 titles. Furthermore, Hollow Knight: Silksong is rumored for the platform, and EA has indicated that Madden, FIFA, and The Sims would be suitable for the console.
