Nintendo has officially announced that the much-anticipated Nintendo Direct for the Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled for tomorrow, April 2, 2025. This presentation promises to last approximately one hour, providing plenty of time for exciting news. You can catch the event at 6 a.m. PT, 9 a.m. ET, 2 p.m. BST, or 3 p.m. CEST, depending on your location.
Last month, Nintendo put an end to swirling rumors and speculations by unveiling the Nintendo Switch 2, which follows in the footsteps of their hugely popular portable console. The brief introduction video didn’t just reveal the design of the new console; it also gave fans a sneak peek at a new Mario Kart game. Plus, gamers will be pleased to hear that this new console will support backward compatibility, allowing them to enjoy games from the original Switch library.
The gaming company has shared that the Nintendo Switch 2 will handle both physical cartridges and digital downloads. However, a word of caution for eager gamers: some titles from the Nintendo Switch might not work or might only offer limited functionality on the newer device.
Stay tuned for a global release of the Nintendo Switch 2 later in 2025. While the specific launch date remains under wraps, fans can look forward to more details coming soon.
