Nintendo has officially announced that the event for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will be held at 6am Pacific Time on Wednesday, April 2nd. The initial unveiling of the Switch 2 gave us a glimpse of its design and hinted at a new installment of Mario Kart being in development, though specifics were scarce.

Initially, when Nintendo announced the Switch 2 Direct on April 2, they didn’t specify an exact timing. Given that Nintendo Directs typically occur in the morning, many speculated this would be the case for the Switch 2 Direct. Now, with the confirmed start time for the Switch 2 Direct, it appears our assumptions were accurate.

The Nintendo tweet revealed that the Switch 2 Direct is scheduled for 6am PT on Wednesday, April 2. This event is expected to offer a more detailed glimpse at the upcoming Switch 2, although specifics about what will be unveiled remain uncertain. Given the speculated launch window of May or June 2025 for the Switch 2, it’s likely that pricing and release date details will be shared during this event. It’s also possible that Nintendo might use this April event to present the console’s initial games lineup, along with titles planned for later in 2025.

When is the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct?

  • Wednesday, April 2 at 6:00am PT

With Nintendo officially setting the date for the Switch 2 Direct, enthusiasts can comfortably schedule this occasion in their calendars. Nevertheless, some devoted Nintendo followers might be curious about the speculated February 2025 Direct. Historically, Nintendo has organized a Nintendo Direct event in February, leading many to believe that tradition would carry on with either a Switch 1-focused Direct or a Partner Showcase featuring upcoming games for the original home console/handheld hybrid. At this time, Nintendo has not unveiled any plans for a February 2025 Direct; however, there’s still a glimmer of optimism that it will materialize.

Regardless of whether Nintendo holds a Direct event in February 2025 as speculated, fans can anticipate updates about upcoming games this month. This is because the highly anticipated Pokemon Presents is scheduled for February 27, allowing fans an exclusive sneak peek into Pokemon Legends: Z-A and other exciting new Pokemon titles.
