What to Expect from the Nintendo Direct
According to Nintendo itself, this event will cover the Switch 2 in more detail and hopefully give us a better understanding of exactly what we can expect from the new console. We’ll likely hear more about the release date, price point, and design of the console.
Release Date and Price Point
Rumors suggest that the Switch 2 will retail for slightly more than the OLED console (around $400) but some are hoping for a cheaper console – the original Switch goes for around $300.
Design
It looks like the design won’t be wildly different to what we’re used to with the Switch. Of course, we are still to find out how powerful it will be, and what the ports might be for, but the current most interesting rumors are around the JoyCons.
Games
We have only seen a glimpse of Mario Kart 9 (including an incredible flash of a new Donkey Kong character design). We should find out what else is in store for the Switch 2 during Nintendo Direct.

With the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct just around the corner, we’re expecting a lot of exciting announcements and reveals. Make sure to tune in and join us for the live blog, where we’ll be sharing all the latest news and updates in real-time.
