Tomorrow, on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, Nintendo enthusiasts can look forward to a detailed look at the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo has announced that the upcoming Nintendo Direct presentation will run for about an hour.
You won’t want to miss it, so mark your calendars and set your alarms. Whether you’re waking up early on the West Coast at 6 AM PT or tuning in at 9 AM ET, 2 PM BST, or 3 PM CEST, there’s a time for everyone to catch the unveiling.
Last month, the gaming giant officially introduced the world to the Nintendo Switch 2, putting an end to a flurry of rumors, alleged leaks, and the usual speculation surrounding new tech. The initial reveal came with a short video that not only showcased the console’s sleek design but also dropped exciting hints about a new Mario Kart installment. Plus, it’s been confirmed that the new system will support backward compatibility with games from the original portable home console.
Nintendo has made it clear that the Switch 2 will run both physical and digital games from the current Nintendo Switch library. However, caveats apply, as they’ve pointed out that not every single game will be supported or fully compatible with the new hardware.
As of yet, they’ve kept us guessing about the exact global release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025, keeping excitement levels high as fans eagerly await more details.
