The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct Now Has a Time as Well as a Date

Nintendo's Switch 2 Nintendo Direct is set for 6am PT on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025 (9am ET, 2pm UK). This presentation promises a more in-depth look at the console 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 complete Switch 2 launch game lineup, along with a release date (predicted between June and September 2025), and hopefully, the console's price (analysts suggest $400).

Speculation about Switch 2's game library is growing. A substantial list of rumored third-party titles is circulating, Firaxis (Civilization 7 developers) expressed interest in the Joy-Con mouse mode, and Nacon (publisher of Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, and RoboCop: Rogue City) confirmed readiness with Switch 2 titles. Hollow Knight: Silksong is also rumored for the platform, and EA recently suggested Madden, FIFA, and The Sims would be suitable additions.
