Authore: AuroraUpdate:Feb 19,2025

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

The initial reveal showcased the Switch 2's design, hinted at Mario Kart 9, and teased a potential "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 (expected between June and September 2025). Hopefully, Nintendo will also announce the price, which analysts predict to be around $400.

Speculation about Switch 2's game library is growing. A substantial list of rumored third-party titles is circulating, and Firaxis (Civilization 7 developers) expressed interest in the Joy-Con mouse mode. Nacon, a prominent game publisher, 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 as strong contenders for the Switch 2.
