Nintendo Switch 2 Direct to Detail Pricing, Release Date, and Preorders on April 2

The new console introduces enhanced game editions, backward compatibility, and a mysterious 'C' button with potential connectivity features.

Nintendo will host a dedicated Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, to reveal the Switch 2's pricing, release date, and preorder details.
Preorders are expected to begin shortly after the Direct, with conflicting reports suggesting either April 2 or April 9 as the start date.
The Switch 2 will feature enhanced 'Switch 2 Edition games,' backward compatibility with most original Switch titles, and a Virtual Game Card system for digital game sharing.
The new Joy-Con 'C' button may enable connectivity with the original Switch for additional functionality, though this remains speculative.
Retailer documents indicate a June 2025 launch, with preorders anticipated to include exclusive bonuses such as a collectible coin.
