Nintendo has finally set the stage for the highly anticipated Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 presentation, scheduled for broadcast on Wednesday, April 2, 2025. Gamers and fans alike can mark their calendars for an early morning or afternoon session, depending on where they’re tuning in from, with the presentation starting at 6:00 AM PT, 9:00 AM ET, 2:00 PM BST, and 3:00 PM CEST. The duration of the presentation is still under wraps, so stay tuned for more details.
Last month’s unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2 put an end to the swirling rumors and leaked tidbits that had been stirring up a storm in the gaming community. This successor to the beloved portable home console was introduced with an exciting teaser video. The clip not only showcased the new console design but also dropped a tantalizing hint of an upcoming Mario Kart game. And for those worried about their current game libraries, Nintendo reassured fans that the new hardware would be backward compatible with the original console’s games.
In a bid to clarify just what the Nintendo Switch 2 has in store, Nintendo emphasized that it will support both physical and digital games from the original Switch. However, the company also issued a cautionary note, indicating that a handful of titles might not be fully compatible with the new system—a little heads-up for conscientious gamers.
Excitement is building as we draw closer to the worldwide release of the Nintendo Switch 2, slated for some time in 2025. While the exact launch date remains unannounced, anticipation is reaching a fever pitch across the globe.
