Nintendo has announced the next Nintendo Direct, focusing on the highly anticipated Switch 2. This article provides all the details you need to tune in.
Mark your calendars! The Nintendo Direct showcasing Switch 2 will air on April 2nd, 2025 (April 3rd in some regions). While Nintendo typically holds Directs in February, this one's a bit later, building anticipation for the Switch 2 reveal. Here's the global broadcast schedule:
Catch the live stream on Nintendo's official website and YouTube channel. A recording will be available later on YouTube if you miss the live event.
While Nintendo has briefly confirmed the Switch 2's existence, details remain scarce. Numerous online leaks exist, but it's best to wait for the official announcement. Expect the Direct to cover specs like graphics, battery life, controller features, and, crucially, pricing and release date (rumored to be around $400). Pre-orders might even open after the presentation.
Beyond hardware, the Direct will likely highlight launch titles. A new Mario Kart game is confirmed for a simultaneous release.
Can't wait for April? Here's a summary of reliable leaks and official news:
Nintendo aims to prevent scalping and shortages, reportedly delaying the Switch 2 launch to 2025 to ensure sufficient supply. While the exact release date is unconfirmed, a June launch is rumored.
Beyond the new Mario Kart, potential launch titles include a 3D Super Mario game, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth, Assassin's Creed Mirage and Shadows, and even Red Dead Redemption 2.
Backward compatibility with the original Nintendo Switch is confirmed, with Nintendo Switch Online support. However, some games may not be compatible.
Expected new features include Joy-Cons with magnets and Hall-effect sticks, potentially offering a mouse-like mode. A larger console body and a sturdy U-shaped stand are also rumored.
That’s your comprehensive preview of the upcoming Nintendo Direct. Set your reminders and get ready!
