It’s a grand day for Nintendo fans as we got the official reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2. More than that, we got a few details about what’s coming next and the promise of a Nintendo Direct that will focus entirely on it. The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to release sometime in 2025, but a Direct presentation in April 2025 will show us more details of what it can do and what we’ll be playing when it comes out and beyond.

Nintendo revealed the details of its Nintendo Direct presentation for the Nintendo Switch 2 at the end of the reveal trailer. On April 2, 2025, Nintendo will host a Direct where the Switch 2 is the entire subject. It’s likely we’re going to learn about the new console’s capabilities and features, but given that we saw what looked like a new Mario Kart, some game reveals for the Switch 2 are also likely in the cards.
