Prior to the April 2 Nintendo Switch 2 presentation, Nintendo announced that two Nintendo Treehouse Live events would take place on April 3 and 4, both starting at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. During these broadcasts, Nintendo will showcase live gameplay of some upcoming Switch 2 games; however, the specific titles being featured are still unknown as of now.

The announcement of Nintendo Treehouse events marks another bustling day for the company. On March 31, the Nintendo Today app unveiled more details about the design of the Switch 2, displaying its console and controller configurations that can accommodate Handheld, Tabletop, and Docked play styles. A picture shared by Nintendo Today also hinted at a possible mouse-like function for one of the Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers. Additional specifics regarding the Switch 2 console, such as a potential launch date and pricing, will be unveiled during a Nintendo Direct on April 2.

As we count down to the upcoming Nintendo Direct for the Switch 2, Nintendo has announced additional events scheduled this week. On their American social media channels, they’ve revealed that two Nintendo Treehouse: Live streams will be broadcast on April 3 and 4, beginning both days at 10:00 AM Eastern time. During these live streams, you can expect to see gameplay demonstrations for various Switch 2 games. However, the specific titles have yet to be disclosed. The duration of each Nintendo Treehouse Live stream is undetermined, but past episodes have typically lasted between 30 and 90 minutes. Interestingly, the April 4 episode of Nintendo Treehouse: Live coincides with the first in-person event for the Switch 2, taking place at Center415 in New York City on the same day.

Nintendo Treehouse: Live Is Coming Back On April 3 and 4

  • Two Nintendo Treehouse: Live events will be held on April 3 and 4, starting at 10:00 AM Eastern.
  • The Treehouse will focus on Switch 2 hands-on gameplay of various games, but further details remain elusive.
  • The latter Treehouse will coincide with the Switch 2’s first in-person event in New York City.
  • Nintendo will reveal more Switch 2 information during the April 2 Nintendo Direct.

Since a new “Mario Kart” game for the Switch 2 was revealed in the January teaser video, it’s likely that we might get a sneak peek of it during the Nintendo Treehouse event. However, games like “Metroid Prime 4: Beyond” and “Pokemon Legends: Z-A” are still scheduled for the original Switch. It’s unclear yet whether the Nintendo Treehouse livestream will demonstrate Switch 2 compatible games or if they’ll only highlight exclusive titles.

Over the coming week, Nintendo enthusiasts are set to receive a wealth of new details following the one-hour Nintendo Direct for Switch 2 and the subsequent Treehouse live broadcasts. The future unveiling, however, remains a mystery, leaving us all eager to find out what Nintendo will ultimately disclose during these streams.
