You’d be forgiven for thinking the timing of the Switch 2 Direct announcement might be a prank, but I assure you, it’s anything but an April Fool’s joke.
Nintendo has officially announced that the Switch 2 Direct will be broadcasting on April 2nd. Make sure you mark your calendars for this significant event, scheduled to start at 9 a.m. Eastern, 6 a.m. Pacific, 3 p.m. Central European Time, or if you’re tuning in from Japan, 11:00 Japan Standard Time. Interestingly, they’ve kept the total runtime under wraps, adding a bit of mystery to the proceedings.
To give you some perspective, the last time Nintendo hosted a similar live press event at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan, it kicked off at 11 p.m. ET. So, if you’re a seasoned fan, you’ll notice this time slot feels a bit familiar, yet refreshingly earlier for those of us on the American continent.
