Nintendo Fans! We're so close to finding out everything we need to know about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console, with less than a week to go until the highly anticipated Nintendo Direct event should finally reveal all. If you haven't already, be sure to register your interest in the Nintendo Switch 2 to be ahead of the digital queues when preorders eventually go live.

Don't want to wait until April 2nd for the big announcement? Confusingly, there's also a new Nintendo Direct live stream happening TODAY at 15:00 CET / 14:00 UK / 10:00 ET / 7am PT time – though Nintendo has stated explicitly that there will be no new announcements made today concerning the Switch 2 console.

So what is today's Nintendo Direct actually about? Mostly new Switch games. We don't know for sure what will be announced, but we're predicting that a new Donkey Kong title could be a possibility, as well as remakes of some classics from the Metroid Prime series, and we wouldn't be surprised if a new Kirby game was announced either.

I know its unfortunate that there won't be any new details unveiled today on the Nintendo Switch 2 console, but at least we only have 6 days to go until the big event on April 2nd!

So what new Nintendo Switch games might we hear about today? We already know that Mario Kart 9 has been pretty much confirmed (though we've only seen a glimpse of it) – with a flash of a new Donkey Kong character design which we think looks pretty cute and endearing.

Personally, I'm a huge Pokémon fan (I even have a Snorlax tattoo), so I'll be most excited to play any new Pokémon titles when I get my hands on a Nintendo Switch 2.

Just last month, on February 27th, we were celebrating Pokémon Day. Thanks to the Pokémon Presents live stream that was hosted via YouTube, we got a sneak peek at some new Pokémon titles including Legends Z-A (the Legends Arceus sequel), as well as a world-first look at Pokémon Champions, the battle-focussed game, which will be coming to the Nintendo Switch console family.

At least we're getting a new Nintendo Today app, as if we don't have enough apps already 🙄 Admittedly, this is a pretty cool and modern way of delivering news and updates on the Switch 2 to consumers, but not everyone has space on their devices for more apps, or the patience to keep checking. Just send me an email when the Switch 2 preorder links go live, that's all I need (does this make me sound old?).

Well...there we have it guys. Anyone else feeling a little underwhelmed by that Direct? I know there's another one in less than a week, but they could have given us at least a crumb of something exciting.
