The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct is set to stream at 6am PT on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, which translates to 9am ET and 2pm UK time. This highly anticipated event will provide a "closer look" at the Switch 2, building on the initial reveal last month that showcased the console's form factor, hinted at a potential Mario Kart 9, and introduced a new 'mouse' mode for the Joy-Con.
While the initial reveal was exciting, many questions remain unanswered, such as the function of the new Joy-Con button, the console's power capabilities, and the purpose of its new ports. Fans are eager to learn more about these aspects during the upcoming Direct.

- I'm waiting to find out more – games, specs, etc!
The Nintendo Direct is expected to reveal the full launch lineup of games for the Switch 2, along with a release date anticipated sometime between June and September 2025. There's also hope that Nintendo will disclose the Switch 2's price, which analysts predict could be around $400.
As the launch approaches, a clearer picture of the Switch 2's game offerings is emerging. A variety of rumored third-party titles are expected to be available on the console. In an interview with IGN, the developer of Civilization 7, Firaxis, expressed interest in the Switch 2's Joy-Con mouse mode, describing it as "definitely intriguing." French game and accessory maker Nacon, known for titles like Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, and RoboCop: Rogue City, has confirmed they have games ready for the Switch 2. Additionally, the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong is rumored to be coming to the console. Just this week, EA announced that Madden, FC, and The Sims would be well-suited for the Switch 2.
