Nintendo has officially announced that the much-anticipated Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 presentation is scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, April 2, 2025. The broadcast will be approximately 60 minutes long, providing plenty of time for fans to get an in-depth look at what’s to come.
You can catch the live stream of the Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 event at several times depending on your location: it kicks off at 6:00 AM PT, 9:00 AM ET, 2:00 PM BST, and 3:00 PM CEST. Set your reminders—this is one announcement you won’t want to miss.
After weeks of swirling rumors and speculative leaks, Nintendo finally lifted the veil on the Nintendo Switch 2 just last month. This reveal brought an end to the anticipation by offering a glimpse of the console’s design and unveiling a new Mario Kart game. Excitingly, they also confirmed that the system will maintain backward compatibility with the original Switch, allowing players to enjoy existing favorites alongside new titles.
In a touch of clarifying detail, Nintendo has stated that the Switch 2 will support both physical and digital games from the current Switch library. However, in a cautionary note, they mentioned that not every existing Switch game will be guaranteed to work seamlessly on the new device.
Though the global release of the Nintendo Switch 2 is slated for 2025, the specific launch date remains under wraps. Until then, stay tuned for more updates and mark your calendar for tomorrow’s big reveal.
