The Nintendo Switch 2 Nintendo Direct is scheduled for 6 AM PT on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025 (9 AM ET, 2 PM UK time). This Direct will provide 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 a mysterious new Joy-Con button, the console's processing power, and the intended use of its new ports.

The potential Switch 2 game library is gradually taking shape. Numerous third-party titles are rumored, Firaxis (developers of Civilization 7) expressed interest in the Joy-Con mouse mode, and Nacon (publisher of Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, and RoboCop: Rogue City) confirmed it has Switch 2 games in development. Hollow Knight: Silksong is also rumored for the platform, and EA recently stated that Madden, FIFA, and The Sims would be suitable for the Switch 2.
