Nintendo Direct for Switch 2 Announced

Nintendo's Switch 2 Nintendo Direct is scheduled for Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, at 6 am PT (9 am ET, 2 pm UK time). This presentation will offer a more detailed look at the Switch 2, following its initial 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 unanswered, including the functionality of a new Joy-Con button, the console's processing power, and the intended use of its new ports.

The Direct is expected to reveal the complete Switch 2 launch game lineup, a release date (anticipated between June and September 2025), and hopefully, the console's price (analysts predict $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 having Switch 2 games ready. Hollow Knight: Silksong is also rumored for the platform, and EA recently suggested Madden, FIFA, and The Sims would be suitable for the Switch 2.
