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

The much-anticipated Nintendo Direct for the Switch 2 now has a confirmed date and time: 6am PT on Wednesday, April 2, 2025. This translates to 9am ET and 2pm UK time, marking a significant moment for fans eager to learn more about Nintendo's next-generation console.
During this Nintendo Direct, Nintendo has promised to offer a "closer look" at the Switch 2, following its initial reveal last month. That earlier glimpse showcased the Switch 2's form factor, hinted at a possible Mario Kart 9, and introduced a new 'mouse' mode for the updated Joy-Con controllers.
Despite the excitement, several mysteries remain about the Switch 2, such as the function of the new Joy-Con button, the console's processing power, and the purpose of its new ports.

The upcoming Nintendo Direct is expected to unveil the full launch lineup of games for the Switch 2, along with its release date, which analysts anticipate will fall between June and September 2025. There's also hope that Nintendo will disclose the Switch 2's price, with predictions suggesting a $400 tag.
As we piece together what to expect from the Switch 2 in terms of gaming, there's a growing list of rumored third-party titles set to grace the console. In a recent IGN interview, Civilization 7 developer Firaxis expressed interest in the Switch 2’s innovative Joy-Con mouse mode. Additionally, French company Nacon, known for titles like Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, and RoboCop: Rogue City, has confirmed having Switch 2 games ready for launch. Rumors also swirl around the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong possibly making its way to the Switch 2. To top it off, EA recently indicated that Madden, FC, and The Sims could be perfect fits for Nintendo's new console.
