Nintendo has kept details about the Switch 2 under wraps since its announcement on January 16, but a Nintendo Direct on April 2 is expected to provide more information. This event will likely include pricing details, a look at the console’s launch game lineup, and possibly new features, such as a mysterious button on the right Joy-Con.
The Switch 2 is also rumored to have a June 2025 release date, with analysts expecting it to be priced between $399 and $499, making it potentially Nintendo’s most expensive console yet. The official launch will be international, though not all countries may receive the console on the same day.
