After months of rumors and a whole lot of waiting, Nintendo officially revealed the Switch 2 to the world on 16 January 2025. We jumped for joy like Mario—but then realized that the first look teaser left a lot to be desired. That’s where the Nintendo Direct Switch 2 event comes in!
Let’s discuss everything fans need to know about the Nintendo Direct Switch 2, including the precise start time/date and a countdown timer you can stare at. We also share what we want to see the most, which is pretty obvious at this point.
Nintendo Direct Switch 2 Start Date & Time
The Nintendo Direct Switch 2 video/stream will air on Wednesday, April 2, 2025 at 6 a.m. PDT. The only official information we have is that it will offer “a closer look at the Nintendo Switch 2.”
Below, you can find a countdown timer, ticking down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the start of the Nintendo Direct Switch 2 stream.
At the time of writing, no precise show length has been revealed, but I do suggest you plan for at least one hour of free time to watch everything Nintendo wants to show fans about the Switch 2.
You can watch the Nintendo Direct Switch 2 stream via the official Nintendo website and YouTube channel. Easy peasy!
What We Want To See From The Switch 2 Event
There are three things we want to see from the Nintendo Direct Switch 2 event, and those are the price, release date, and hardware specs. Sure, it will be good to see some brand-new first-party titles running on the system and maybe something super impressive to showcase its power, such as DOOM The Dark Ages. If the new DOOM can run on it, I’m sold!
Either way, give us the price, release date, and raw technical specs, Nintendo! We already know the Switch 2 is a versatile device, so there’s no reason to drone on about how you can use it as a home console or take it on the go. An accurate estimate of how long the battery lasts in mobile mode, however, would be nice…
