The Nintendo Switch 2 is real, and its upcoming Nintendo Direct reveals all. We’ve seen what the console looks like and a snippet of its features, but the Direct presentation is a can’t-miss affair. Our guide covers the Direct’s date and details, and like Aerosmith said, you don’t wanna miss a thing.
The Switch 2 has been announced, and we’re looking ahead to its first Nintendo Direct showcase. We’ve been asking for the Nintendo Switch 2 for years, and it’s time to open our arms and embrace the Switch 2 tighter than a Browser hug. Expectations are already sky-high with analysts predicting the console to “sell more than 20 million units in its first year.“
Nintendo Directs are always fun lotteries where you guess what will be shown. One thing we know for sure—we give a warm welcome to Switch 2.
Nintendo Direct Date For Nintendo Switch 2
The Nintendo Direct date for the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal is April 2.
Nintendo hasn’t announced anything else concerning the event, but the company’s site does say this, “Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 – 02.04.2025 will air on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, offering a closer look at Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to Nintendo Switch releasing in 2025.”
We’ve waited so long for the Switch 2 announcement, a bit longer for the Direct won’t hurt!

What to Expect From Switch 2 Nintendo Direct Event
We know we’re getting a “closer look at Nintendo Switch 2” at the Nintendo Direct—and this likely means a guide to the console’s specs, a detailed look at its features, cross-compatibility, and maybe a new game or two.
It’s another area where Nintendo is keeping its cards close to its chest. I expect the console to be demonstrated, the software to be shown on it—along with a breakdown of the specs and main features—and at least one new release.
Interestingly, Mario Kart is spotted in the promotional material for Switch 2. You can see the image above, and it could be the makings of Mario Kart 9. Stay tuned as we learn more.
