Nintendo announces 60-minute Switch 2 Direct event
The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation will run approximately 60 minutes, according to an official confirmation from Nintendo.
This extended runtime for a Nintendo Direct suggests the company has substantial content to showcase during this highly anticipated event.
Scheduled for April 2, 2025 at 6am PDT / 9am EDT / 2pm BST, this Direct promises to provide an in-depth look at the Switch 2 following its brief initial reveal earlier this year.
Previous teasers showcased the Switch 2's design, hinted at what appears to be Mario Kart 9, and suggested a possible 'mouse' functionality for the new Joy-Con controllers.
Several key questions remain unanswered about the Switch 2, including the purpose of the mysterious new 'C' button on Joy-Cons, the console's technical capabilities, and potential uses for its new ports.
Fans are hopeful the Direct will reveal the Switch 2's full launch game lineup and official release date (anticipated between June-September 2025). Industry analysts predict a $400 price point which Nintendo may confirm during the presentation.
Speculation continues regarding potential Switch 2 games. Multiple third-party titles are rumored, including a possible port of Hollow Knight: Silksong. Firaxis Games (developers of Civilization 7) commented on the potential Joy-Con mouse mode, calling it intriguing, while Nacon confirmed multiple Switch 2 titles in development. Electronic Arts suggested Madden, FC, and The Sims would suit the platform well.
Recent announcements about Virtual Game Cards for system-to-system game sharing also generated discussion, particularly after appearing in Nintendo's website documentation.
Additionally, Nintendo confirmed a post-Direct Nintendo Treehouse Live event on April 3-4 featuring hands-on Switch 2 gameplay demonstrations starting at 7am PT each day.
