In an announcement eagerly awaited by fans worldwide, Nintendo has set the schedule for their upcoming presentation of the Nintendo Switch 2. This highly anticipated Nintendo Direct will air on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, and you can catch it at 6 AM PT, 9 AM ET, 2 PM BST, or 3 PM CEST. While the excitement is palpable, Nintendo hasn’t yet shared how long this presentation will run.
Last month, Nintendo put an end to swirling rumors and speculation by officially unveiling the Nintendo Switch 2. This reveal was a breath of fresh air for fans who have been on tenterhooks, waiting to see what kind of successor would follow the beloved portable home console.
Accompanying the reveal, a brief video highlighted the sleek design of the new console and hinted at exciting new content, including a new Mario Kart game. Nintendo has also assured fans that the Switch 2 will indeed be backwards compatible with games from the original console, though they’ve noted that “certain Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2.”
The Switch 2 promises to play both physical cartridges and digital downloads from its predecessor. However, a worldwide release is set for 2025, and while we wait for a specific launch date, the excitement continues to build among gamers globally.
