The Nintendo Switch 2 Nintendo Direct is scheduled for 6 am PT on Wednesday, April 2, 2025 (9 am ET, 2 pm UK time). This Direct will offer a closer look at the Switch 2, following its brief unveiling last month. The initial reveal showcased the console's design, hinted at Mario Kart 9, and teased a potential “mouse” mode for the new Joy-Con controllers.

However, many questions remain unanswered. These include the functionality of the mysterious new Joy-Con button, the console's processing power, and the intended use of its new ports.

The Direct is expected to reveal the full Switch 2 launch game lineup, a release date (predicted between June and September 2025), and hopefully, the console's price (analysts predict $400).

Speculation about Switch 2 games is growing. A significant number of third-party titles are rumored to be in development. Firaxis, developers of Civilization 7, expressed interest in the Joy-Con mouse mode. Nacon, a publisher of titles like Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, and RoboCop: Rogue City, confirmed they have Switch 2 games ready. Hollow Knight: Silksong is also rumored for the platform. Furthermore, EA recently stated that Madden, FIFA, and The Sims would be suitable for the Switch 2.
