What do we know about the latest Nintendo Direct? Not a lot, besides what it won’t contain — there will be, according to Nintendo, no updates about the Nintendo Switch 2 during the online presentation, which is expected to last around 30 minutes. Instead, we’ve been told that we will get some news about upcoming games for the Switch… but which ones? You’ll have to watch to find out, and we’re here to help. Check out the livestream below, which starts at 10am Eastern, 7am Pacific.

That said, if you’re looking for more information about the Switch 2, don’t worry — that’s coming in a separate Nintendo Direct on April 2, beginning at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific. Because, if you live on the West Coast, you have to get up early to find out everything you want about the next generation of handheld gaming.

You don't need to beat the game to prepare for the next one—here are all the major new and upcoming games coming our way.
