Nintendo will reveal all the details about its next-generation game console, the Switch 2, at the Switch 2 Direct event to be held on April 2. In the first announcement made in January, a short video of the device was shared and it was seen that the console would have magnetic Joy-Con controllers. In the same video, it was revealed that a new Mario Kart game was also in development.

Where will Nintendo’s Switch 2 Direct event be broadcast?

However, critical information such as the device’s hardware features, price, release date and game library have not yet been announced. The Switch 2 Direct event is of great importance in terms of shedding light on all these unknowns.

According to Nintendo’s previously published press releases, the Switch 2 will be able to run Switch 1 game cartridges with backward compatibility. In addition, digital games can be easily transferred from Switch 1 to Switch 2.

It is stated that the console will have a larger screen and the Joy-Con controllers have been completely renewed. In addition, the fact that Nintendo has not shared many details about its hardware features so far strengthens the possibility that surprise announcements may be made at the event.

The Switch 2 Direct event will begin on April 2 at 16:00 Turkey time. The broadcast, which is expected to last approximately 60 minutes, will be broadcast live on Nintendo’s official YouTube and Twitch channels. It can also be followed on the company’s new daily news app Nintendo Today.

It is expected that long-awaited topics such as the Switch 2’s release date and price will be clarified during the broadcast. In addition, details about Nintendo’s next-generation game library and possible exclusive games will also be given at the event.
