Nintendo confirmed the Switch 2 earlier this year with a brief, hardware-focused teaser trailer. Another Direct presentation was announced for April 2 ahead of a number of hands-on events, with fans hoping for news on price, release date and launch titles.
However there have also been plenty of rumours about another Direct focusing on the original Switch. Insider NateTheHate originally claimed the Switch presentation would come in February but now he’s saying that it will be shared later this week.
“To stop the constant questions: Yes, I’ve heard there is a Nintendo presentation this week — I believe it is on/around Thursday & it’ll be a Direct; but I’m not 100 per cent certain on the format at present,” he wrote on social media.
