Nintendo Switch 2: What We Know So Far
The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to be the biggest console launch of the year, and Nintendo has a way of announcing the most important details via what it calls Nintendo Direct events. These are live streamed video announcements made directly from the horse’s mouth, and today’s event is the very first one to offer the details we’ve been craving about the upcoming console.
What’s New in the Switch 2?
The company released an official reveal trailer back in January that showed us a first look at the console, and I love the sleek black design with neon-coloured tints. While I think the Switch 2 looks super modern, not everybody feels the same, and some gamers think the design is not true to Nintendo’s playful brand and should have been a little more juvenile.
New Features and Improvements
The docking station has had a makeover too, with a curved shape as opposed to the rectangular build that we’re used to. The trailer also showed a quick glimpse at a new Mario Kart title, undoubtedly Mario Kart 9, although we have yet to hear anything more about this game (until later today, I imagine).
How to Watch the Nintendo Direct Switch 2 Event
The Nintendo Direct Switch 2 event will kick off at 14:00 UK / 6am PT / 9am ET time, so don’t be late! You can watch the live stream right here on this page or head over to the official Nintendo YouTube channel to watch the livestream or go directly to the Nintendo Direct website.
What to Expect from the Event
The event will offer the details we’ve been craving about the upcoming console, including the launch date, preorders, price, and exclusive games. We’ll also get a chance to see the new ‘C’ button in action, which is still unclear, and what it’s all about.
Conclusion
The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to revolutionize the gaming world, and today’s event is the first step in learning more about what this new console has to offer. Stay tuned for our live blog, where we’ll be bringing you all the latest updates as they happen.
