In a few hours, the most awaited Nintendo Switch 2 Direct is kicking off with a lot of surprises about the newest console and exclusive games.
While the Big N did not mention any particular topics to discuss for the hour-long Direct showcase, fans expect to hear major details about the Switch 2's release date and how much it will cost.
When and Where to Watch the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
The next Nintendo Direct stream will be streamed worldwide to provide a detailed overview of the Nintendo Switch 2 and its specifications, according to Insider Gaming.
After its initial announcement in January, Nintendo confirmed that the new console would stick with the original Switch's hybrid design for both docked and portable gameplay.
Although official pre-orders have not yet been announced, rumors indicate they might open shortly after the April 2 presentation. Fans should keep an ear out for the live stream link and information through Nintendo's official channels.
Nintendo Switch 2: Rumored Price and Hardware Improvements
One of the biggest questions surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 is its price. Reports indicate that the console could cost between $399 and $499, making it a premium upgrade over its predecessor. Given the more advanced features based on the teaser picture, this price range seems reasonable.
Apart from pricing, Nintendo has already revealed redesigned Joy-Con controllers, supporting the notion that the Switch 2 will retain its portability. With upgrades likely in display resolution, processing power, and battery life, the Switch 2 will offer a next-gen experience no one will expect.
Nintendo Switch 2 Game Lineup: What to Expect
Nintendo has confirmed that a brand-new Mario Kart title and game will feature on the Switch 2 as a launch title. Furthermore, rumors suggest that a new 3D Mario title and a remake of Zelda could be in production for the console, GameRant writes.
An entire hour of Direct announcements most probably implies that Nintendo will announce several first-party and third-party titles.
Porting titles from PlayStation and Xbox is what fans are expecting, as well as possibly surprises such as a "Metroid Prime" sequel or a new "Super Smash Bros." installment.
The Countdown to Nintendo's Big Reveal
Everyone has their eyes fixed on Nintendo for a detailed summary of the features, price tag, and supported games of the Switch 2. If pre-ordering does actually go live subsequent to the show, expect to see its skyrocketing demand in the first pre-order hours.
The Nintendo Direct will kick off in four hours, so stay tuned for more details. Regularly check the video below to stay updated.
