Nintendo Switch 2 Direct live: the latest Switch 2 reveals from the event as they come in

What about the Virtual Game Card?

In the previous Nintendo Direct, one of the most amazing things we learned was the arrival of a new virtual game card system.

At that time it seemed very confused, but now when I have had some time to break it, here is a quick explainer.

Basically, your Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 will recognize the 2 digitally purchased sports (what you find on the Ashp), as well as they recognize the physical as a ‘virtual game card’.

A dedicated menu will show your virtual game card library, and allows you to ‘load’ or ‘unload’ (the digital equivalent of taking them into and out in your system).

What does it mean in practice? Well, soon you will be able to move sports more easily between your own consoles. You will be able to ‘unload’ a game on a system, and then log in with your Nintendo account to ‘load’. All savings are moved, in theory if you own them, it makes it easier to manage multiple consoles.

I am very excited to use the Nintendo Switch OLED for use in a home, and a Nintendo Switch Light completely traveling – I am very excited.

Nintendo has also confirmed that you will be able to share sports with members of your Nintendo Account Family, lending them up to 14 days at a time. Cool!

Forget Mario and forget Zelda, if I’m honest one thing I really want to see from Nintendo is a Nintendoes Yes, I am fully aware that Nintendo was one of the 3Ds, but you know that I also do that no one really played it.

A shiny, modern Nintendoes It just won’t be cute – this can really show the characteristics of the Nintendo Switch 2 rumors. Imagine using a mouse format to kill a virtual dog, or who is able to drag the joy around the table to copy the walk. Virtual pet interactions are endless …

The gamers are only 90 minutes! Now it’s a good time to start thinking about snacks for broadcast …

I think I’m taking a cup of coffee (though I suspect I need to give all interesting announcements in the store!) And a handful of roasted sunflower seeds. Salted people are very good.

But what do you think about stock?

If some consumers are really able to buy it as a result of stock shortages, there is no point in releasing the cheap console.

James has covered big product launches for years and possibly said about the stock situation.

“I know what you are thinking … Will we see a similar stock situation with PS5 and Xbox Series X with the new Nintendo Switch 2? Obviously, I’m not sure, but I’m sure it will not be as bad as these pandemic months.

Yes, there will be demand for switch 2, and yes, fans will race to buy one. This will almost certain to sell consoles in the early weeks during the initial pre -order phase and after the release of the console.

However, I think the switch 2 will be returned to stock quite fast and fairly, the given Nintendo should have a solid idea of ​​demand and we are not inside the house seeking time.

In any way, we will bring all the latest switch 2 pre -order and stock news immediately in today’s direct and next month. “

More on this price …

I’m going to talk about the price of Nintendo Switch 2, as it will be really important.

If Nintendo’s price goes wrong, it can be a catastrophe – Nintendo Switch 2 failed to meet its more affordable predecessor.

To give a good idea to expect what to expect in the Prices Department, I have asked for some skills, seeking skilled savings and editor of senior deals, James Packard.

“The price of Nintendo Switch 2 in the rumors is around $ 399.99 / £ 349.99, and when it feels like a logical prediction, I will not surprise if the price will rise slightly – especially in the United States.”

“Still, it would be a threat, because anything beyond these current rumors keeps it even closer to PlayStation 5, even more closely, which can be raised with the latest digital edition of estro -boot bundles in at least 9 399.99. That’s why I will try to stay close to them.

The price of Nintendo Switch 2 is a major concern and an area where we have no real rumors to work.

So, we went to our WhatsApp community to ask our audience how much they would spend on the console coming. Here they thought:

44 % – so near half – it seems to be more than $ 450, which will be a heavy price tag to get out of the gate.

At the other end of the spectrum, and the next biggest response, 23 % think it will be less than $ 400, which will maintain its price widely according to OLED.

In the middle of the pack, Jostaling, 19 % of people think it would be $ 400, and go to $ 14 % for $ 450.

What do you think?

Nintendo of America President and COO Weighs

In the United States, Nintendo, President and COO, Doug Baiser, posted some on the X / Twitter about the upcoming event today.

As you can be expected, there is no real new information, but its enthusiasm is contagious.

Nintendo Tree House: Directly be too large

Yesterday, Nintendo confirmed two new Nintendo Tree House: Nintendo Switch Directly after Directorate. The first will be on April 3, which will be followed on April 4.

Both will start at 7am PT / 10am et / 2pm BST and we will look at some Nintendo Switch 2 games in a practical form.

If you are not familiar with the Nintendo Tree House live, format has been often used by the company in the past. It mainly includes a room that is full of different presentants, who you see play with some of the latest hardware and/or sports.

Both of these streams can be very insightful, which gives us a relatively unimaginated look at the action on Nintendo Switch 2, so definitely tune if you have the opportunity.

I will also give money on the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, which we have been given the first glimpse of the consumer’s user interface. Hopefully it will be a bit more interesting than SLAD SLAD SIGHT NEXTANDO switch UI.

I personally cross my fingers to add colorful system themes.

It was a great feature for Nintendo 3DS (though it was not around the launch) but was clearly absent from the Nintendo Switch for his entire life. There was a dedicated themes menu, but it showed only two basic options: black and white. It’s just giving us sarcasm!

One of my great hopes is that the Nintendo Switch 2 will bring back the topics. I want to be able to showcase my love for some franchises on my home screen with custom icons and music.

I always have a soft spot for my Nintendo 3DS, thanks to the dear Hatsoon Macau artwork (and with him) in any small part that turned me on.

Nintendo is always away from talking in a solid numbers, but I think the company will still manage to find a way to tell us how powerful the Nintendo Switch 2 is more powerful than its predecessor. Perhaps we will see some more deep Nintendo Switch Games walking easily on the new machine …

Will the mouse mode eventually be official?

I think we are definitely going to see the mouse mode with long rumors very soon.

It has been the subject of many leaks and even the disclosure of the console was indicated by the trailer (which was around the flat surface like mice).

The idea is that the new Joy controllers will be used on their sides thanks to the optical sensor, which allows them to detect movements to control things on the screen.

It may seem a bit stupid before, but the practical applications of this idea may be huge. This will allow a lot of better precision in shooter sports like Nintendo’s own SplatoonOr be a blessing to navate the complex interface of titles Super Mario maker.

Speaking of reminders, now with the original trailer of the first look, it will be a great time to refresh yourself on Switch 2.

It was our first official look at the console design and shows some physical differences between it and the original Nintendo Switch.

Look

If you need an immediate reminder about the length of the broadcast, Nintendo has previously confirmed that it will be “about 60 60 minutes long.”

This is a slightly longer than your average 40 or more minutes of Nintendo, and about the same period that is the original Nintendo Switch Discovering event.

I hope that this will be more than a long time to answer our most important questions.

What is the turmoil about everyone?

If you are a little away from the loop and want to know what today’s switch 2 event is, there is a fast recovery of events that have been explained why I am so excited.

Nintendo first unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2, which was published by the successor of its most popular Nintendo Switch Console in the amazingly published in the amazing Investigation Trailer on January 16, 2025.

It first formally shown the new system, which was a smart 3D animation combined with beautiful music and cold sound effects.

Although it had a lot of small indicators, the video confirmed very little new features and not clearly mentioned any game (though something new looks like Mario Cart The screen was briefly shown).

He clearly stated that Nintendo Switch 2 Although most Nintendo switch games could play, but basically this is everything we certainly know.

The video ended with a date: April 2, 2025, which the company again confirmed, will be a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 Direct day.

I expect it to be a detailed defect of the Asian broadcasting system, outline its features and show some of its launch games. I also think we are likely to learn the release date with pre -orders.
