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

Feb 25,25

Nintendo's Switch 2 Nintendo Direct is set for Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, at 6 am PT (9 am ET, 2 pm UK time). This presentation promises a detailed look at the Switch 2, following its brief unveiling last month.

The initial reveal showcased the console's design, hinted at a potential Mario Kart 9 appearance, and teased a novel "mouse" mode for the new Joy-Cons. However, many questions remain unanswered, including the functionality of a mysterious new Joy-Con button, the console's processing power, and the intended use of its new ports.

The Direct is anticipated to unveil the Switch 2's launch game lineup and release date (projected between June and September 2025). Hopefully, Nintendo will also reveal the console's price, which analysts predict to be around $400.

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