Gaming Giant Announces Switch 2 Direct Time

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 an in-depth 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 new "mouse" mode for the Joy-Con controllers. 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 expected to reveal the Switch 2's full launch game lineup, a release date (predicted between June and September 2025), and hopefully, the console's price (analysts estimate around $400).

Speculation regarding the Switch 2's game library is growing. A substantial list of rumored third-party titles is circulating, with Firaxis (Civilization 7 developers) expressing interest in the Joy-Con mouse mode. Nacon, a prominent game publisher, has confirmed its readiness to launch Switch 2 titles. Further fueling anticipation, Hollow Knight: Silksong is rumored for the platform, and EA has suggested Madden, FIFA, and The Sims as strong contenders for the Switch 2.
