The Nintendo Switch 2 Nintendo Direct is set for 6 AM PT on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025—that's 9 AM ET and 2 PM UK time. Nintendo promises a closer look at the Switch 2, following its brief unveiling last month. That 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. What's the purpose of the mysterious new Joy-Con button? What's the console's processing power? And what are the new ports for?
AnswerSee ResultsThis Nintendo Direct should hopefully reveal the full Switch 2 launch lineup, a release date (expected between June and September 2025), and—fingers crossed—the price, which analysts predict to be around $400.
The Switch 2's game library is gradually taking shape. Numerous third-party titles are rumored, with Firaxis (developers of Civilization 7) calling the Joy-Con mouse mode "definitely intriguing" in an IGN interview. Nacon, a publisher of titles like Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, and RoboCop: Rogue City, has confirmed Switch 2 game readiness. Hollow Knight: Silksong is also rumored, and EA recently suggested Madden, FIFA, and The Sims would be suitable for the platform.
