Nintendo Direct presentations are always well worth a watch, but none more so that the one coming up in April.
That’s because, after dropping its teaser trailer for the Nintendo Switch 2, the next Direct will be dedicated to the next-gen console and, hopefully, the exclusive games we can expect to see launch alongside it.
Who knows, we might even find out a full release date.
Here then is when you can watch the next Nintendo Direct live, plus a few notes on what we think you can expect.
When will the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct be streamed?
The most exciting Nintendo Direct in years will be streamed online on2 April 2025.
There are few other details for now – even the time it starts is yet to be revealed. However, the presentation traditionally kicks off at 3pm in the UK / 10am on the US East Coast and we’d be very surprised if that wasn’t the case again.
If correct, here are those times for different regions.

It’s hard to say exactly what Nintendo has up its sleeve, butconsidering the first look trailerruns for little over two minutes and barely gives anything away, it’s likely we’ll find out pretty much everything during the next Direct.

We should find out how the new Joy-Cons attach to the console, for example, with magnets most commonly rumoured. We should also find out the specifications, including the actual size of the display – speculation has suggested between 8- and 8.4-inches.
Perhaps the most eagerly-anticipated aspect though will be the games. It has been confirmed that the Switch 2 will work with the majority of existing Switch titles, but it’ll also have its own exclusive games. And so far we’ve only see a version ofMario Kartrunning on the new machine (in the trailer).
As for a release date, Nintendo is hosting experiences around the globe where fans can preview the new console, and as they finish at the start of June, it’s likely the Switch 2 will hit stores soon after. That suggests a summer launch, but we’ll surely find out more soon.
