Mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 2, 2025, as you can catch the event at 6 am PT, 9 am ET, 2 pm BST, or 3 pm CEST.

Last month’s official unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2 brought a sigh of relief for fans who’ve been buzzing with excitement over countless rumors and supposed leaks. Everyone’s been eager to get concrete details on the successor to Nintendo’s popular portable home console.
In a teaser trailer that left fans wanting more, Nintendo offered a sneak peek at the console’s sleek design. They also teased a new entry in the beloved Mario Kart series and reassured audiences that the new hardware would be backward compatible with games from the original platform.
Nintendo has gone on record confirming that the Switch 2 will support both physical and digital titles from the current Nintendo Switch library. However, they did note a caveat: not every existing Switch game might be playable or fully compatible with the new system.
As for when you’ll be able to get your hands on the Nintendo Switch 2, a 2025 global release is on the calendar, but the exact launch date is still under wraps. Expect more details to emerge closer to its debut.
