Following what appeared to be the last Nintendo Direct specifically about the Nintendo Switch last week, we can expect the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 to be unveiled through a dedicated Nintendo Direct later this week. Back in January, when the teaser trailer for the Switch 2 was released, Nintendo announced that the complete reveal would take place on Wednesday, April 2 at 6 AM Pacific Time / 9 AM Eastern Time.
In this upcoming Nintendo Direct broadcast, we can anticipate an exclusive focus on the rumored Nintendo Switch 2. However, it’s important to note that Nintendo has yet to officially reveal any specific details about what will be unveiled. There is buzz and speculation swirling around potential new features such as a possible mouse function for the Joy-Con controllers, as well as the release date and price.

You can stream the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct live on Nintendo’s official YouTube and Twitch platforms, or you can watch reactions to the event in real-time on both TopMob’s (YouTube, Twitch) and Giant Bomb (YouTube, Twitch) channels simultaneously.

What to expect
The only known details about the Nintendo Switch 2 so far are from the teaser in January, which showcased its design, Joy-Cons, and hinted at a new Mario Kart game. Beyond these glimpses, no formal specifications or features have been revealed for the console, but that is likely to change significantly with the upcoming Switch 2 Direct presentation.
With a fresh Nintendo console on the horizon, speculations run high about new installments in the company’s popular series. The anticipated Mario Kart and a fresh 3D Super Mario game similar to Super Mario Odyssey are among the games frequently whispered about as possible announcements. Additionally, the term “Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Game” emerged after the latest Nintendo Direct, suggesting that there might be enhanced versions of existing Nintendo Switch titles – with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild being one of the games rumored to receive an upgrade.
Observing from afar, Hollow Knight: Silksong avoided the recent news cycle by missing last Thursday’s Nintendo Direct, sparking speculation that it might be featured in the upcoming Switch 2 presentation. Additionally, whispers circulate about Microsoft as they provided several games for the original Switch, but so far, the company has not confirmed any plans for the new Nintendo console.
