Nintendo Announces Switch 2 Reveal Live

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

This extended duration is notable for a Nintendo Direct, hinting at a packed showcase with significant announcements for the highly anticipated console.

The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct is scheduled for April 2, 2025, at 6 AM PDT / 9 AM EDT / 2 PM BST. Nintendo plans to provide an in-depth look at the Switch 2 during this event, expanding on their initial console reveal earlier this year.

That first glimpse showcased the Switch 2's design, possible footage of Mario Kart 9, and teased a potential "mouse mode" for the new Joy-Con controllers.

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

Fans are eagerly awaiting the full launch lineup of Switch 2 games and an official release date during the Direct. Industry analysts predict Nintendo will announce a $400 price point for the system, expected to launch between June and September 2025.

We're gradually learning about potential Switch 2 game titles through various sources. Numerous third-party titles have been rumored for the console, and developers like Firaxis (Civilization 7) have expressed intrigue about the Joy-Con mouse functionality. Publishers including Nacon and EA have hinted at Switch 2 versions of their major franchises, while Hollow Knight: Silksong is strongly rumored to be in development for the platform.
