Nintendo to Unveil Switch 2 in June Direct

Nintendo has confirmed the upcoming Switch 2 Direct presentation will run for approximately 60 minutes.

This is notably longer than typical Nintendo Direct streams, indicating the company has substantial news and updates planned for this highly anticipated event.

The Switch 2 Direct is scheduled for April 2, 2025, at 6 AM PDT / 9 AM EDT / 2 PM BST. Nintendo states this presentation will provide a detailed overview of the Switch 2, following its initial hardware reveal earlier this year.

That initial showcase highlighted the console's design, teased what appears to be Mario Kart 9, and hinted at a potential 'mouse' functionality for the new Joy-Con controllers.

Several key questions about the Switch 2 remain unanswered, including the function of the mysterious new 'C' button on the Joy-Cons, the console's processing power, and the purpose of its rumored new ports.

Fans are also hoping the Direct will reveal the full launch game lineup, a specific release date—projected for sometime between June and September 2025—and the console's pricing, which industry analysts estimate will be around $400.

Details about the Switch 2's game library are beginning to emerge. A number of third-party titles are rumored for the platform. In an interview, the developers of Civilization 7 expressed interest in the Joy-Con's potential mouse mode. French publisher Nacon, known for games like Greedfall 2 and RoboCop: Rogue City, has confirmed it has Switch 2 titles in development. The highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong is also rumored for a Switch 2 release, and EA has suggested that major franchises like Madden, FC, and The Sims would be excellent fits for the new console.
