Ashley Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Quote Nintendo Switch 2 – 02.04.2025, airing on April 2nd, 2025. Maybe choose a better title? Why not just call it the unveiling, showcase or something like that. 1

I'm honestly surprised they've gone with the Direct branding for it, even if it makes sense for how big a buzzword it's become for streamed presentations by Nintendo themselves as well as others, I totally agree that they could've gone with a better title. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if they rebrand it a little when we get the details on broadcast time. I just hope it isn't silly o'clock in the morning like it was for the Jan 2017 Presentation...
Dcubed Posted January 16 Posted January 16 So… I guess I was right then. Big blowout in April, release in June.

I'm praying that it's May just so you don't bring this up every other post and, of course, to spite you. Obviously I'm kidding (maybe ) How do you feel about the 2½ month wait for more/the Direct? It's roughly the same amount of time but feels so much longer than the wait for the Jan Presentation for Switch to me simply because there's not a rampant holiday period to help burn the days away between now and then!

RedShell Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Quote Stay tuned for a closer look at #NintendoSwitch2 in #NintendoDirect: Nintendo Switch 2 – 02.04.2025, airing on April 2nd, 2025. The broadcast time will be shared at a later date. OK, Nintendo!: 3
Helmsly Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I would have liked if they had shown more then they did. Because right now, all we know is its bigger, has a different shaped stand, the joycons connect differently and maybe can be used as a mouse. I think they should have given us more information then that, as cool as the console looks. The wait from now until April for more information is going to be a slog.
sumo73 Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I saw the video and now the flood of YouTube videos and rumours about the Switch 2 will go into overdrive. I'm sure someone is going to complain that it's called the Nintendo Switch 2 and then make some comparison with the Wii U that people got confused with the name or something. This trailer at the end does make things clearer. On a side note has it really been 20 years since I first saw this - 1
Julius Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago (edited) We now have a time for this: 14:00 BST! So if I'm getting this right, then that's: 22:00 JST in Tokyo (bit of a late one for Japan?!), 09:00 EDT in New York, and 06:00 PDT in Los Angeles. So glad to see them confirm it so far out, I'm already very excited for this. Wonder how long it's going to be, I'd probably guess about an hour? Time to go block that afternoon out in my work calendar... JUST 56 DAYS TO GO! Edited 2 hours ago by Julius 1 1
Dcubed Posted 36 minutes ago Posted 36 minutes ago Interesting that they are announcing the exact day/time so far in advance, but there aren’t many days it could’ve been; given that the Switch 2 Experience tour is happening shortly after.

We already knew the date of the Direct from the reveal trailer, it was announced together with the Switch 2 Experience tour at the very end; it's just the time of day that they've confirmed today Speaking of time, I've got to imagine the reason they aren't pinning a length on this yet is purely because we're so far out that first- and third-parties are still prepping/cutting trailers for the thing, and I'd assume the final edit is still a little ways, so I wonder if they're just going to casually drop the approximate length of the Direct like a week out? Ah which point they'll drop the old "Join us next Wednesday for as we dive into the software and hardware behind the Switch 2. This presentation will be approximately an hour long." Of course, this will be followed by their favourites "focusing on games releasing in 2025" and "please note, there will be no mention of the Switch 2 successor"
