By OliverFeb 24,2025

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

The initial reveal showcased the console's design, hinted at a potential Mario Kart 9 release, and teased a novel "mouse" mode for the new Joy-Cons. However, many questions remain unanswered, including the functionality 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, along with a release date (predicted to be between June and September 2025), and hopefully, the console's price (analysts estimate around $400).

Speculation regarding Switch 2's game library is growing. A substantial list of rumored third-party titles is circulating, and Firaxis, the developer of Civilization 7, expressed interest in the Joy-Con mouse mode. Nacon, a prominent French video game publisher, has confirmed its readiness to launch Switch 2 titles. Furthermore, Hollow Knight: Silksong is rumored for a Switch 2 release, and EA has indicated that Madden, FIFA, and The Sims would be suitable for the platform.
