"Nintendo Direct Sets Time for Switch 2 Reveal"

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.

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.
