by Adam Feb 18,2025

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 more in-depth look at the Switch 2, following its initial 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, including the function 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 complete Switch 2 launch game lineup and release date (projected between June and September 2025). Hopefully, Nintendo will also reveal the price, which analysts predict to be around $400.

Speculation about the Switch 2's game library is growing. A substantial list of rumored third-party titles is circulating, and Firaxis, the developer of Civilization 7, expressed interest in the Joy-Con mouse mode. Nacon, a prominent video game publisher, confirmed its readiness to launch Switch 2 titles. Furthermore, Hollow Knight: Silksong is rumored for the platform, and EA recently suggested that Madden, FIFA, and The Sims would be suitable for the Switch 2.
