It’s been a long and excruciating wait, but the scheduled time is nearly upon us. On April 2 (tomorrow), Nintendo will host their Switch 2 focused Direct at 6 a.m. PT and 9 a.m. ET.
Over on X, Nintendo revealed new details about what we should expect from the presentation. This is set to be an eventful livestream as the Direct has been scheduled to last for “approximately 60 minutes.”
Nintendo has basically gone radio silent about the Switch 2 since they first provided at sneak peek at it during the Switch 2 reveal trailer. By that point, it felt like just about everything about the console had already been leaked beforehand, but there was still plenty to be excited for nonetheless.
Amazingly, Nintendo has managed to keep the Switch 2 game library completely under wraps, although they did provide a quick look at the next Mario Kart entry for the hybrid device. Notably, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is known for being the best-selling game on the Nintendo Switch, which provides us with some ideas of what type of games Nintendo might feature during this upcoming presentation.
We also recently learned that Masahiro Sakurai has been working on a secret game project since April 2022. Chances are high that Sakurai’s game will actually be revealed during this Switch 2 Direct.
A plausible possibility is that Sakurai has been working on the next entry in the Super Smash Bros. series for the Switch 2. Nintendo would certainly have a vested interest in having Sakurai working on this project considering that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate ended up being the third best-selling game on the Switch with over 35.88 million sales achieved.
Additionally, many fans have been wondering why Capcom hasn’t revealed the Elena trailer for Street Fighter 6. Of course, Street Fighter is only available on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the PC.
Based on what we know of reported spec leaks, it seems like the Switch 2 will be powerful enough to run Street Fighter 6. As such, there are plenty of fans that have speculated that the Elena trailer could actually show up during the Switch 2 Direct tomorrow.
As always, we’ll be live tomorrow covering any news relevant to the fighting game community. Be sure to tune in with us then.
Join us tomorrow, April 2nd, at 6 a.m. PT for a closer look at #NintendoSwitch2! The #NintendoDirect: Nintendo Switch 2 – 4.2.2025 livestream will be approximately 60 minutes long.
