Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 Predictions

The first Nintendo Direct for the Nintendo Switch 2 is coming soon on the 2nd of April, Wednesday. For fun, I wanted to do predictions for the upcoming presentation.

The video will start by explaining what the mysterious “C” button is for. I think it enables the television and the console to act as a dual-screen. Then they will show the mouse functionality of the new Joy-Cons that can act as a stylus. Then the screen will go black and the NEW Nintendo Switch Online 2 will be shown with the introduction of Nintendo DS and the Nintendo 3DS releasing at Launch!

The next part, I am hoping that they announce that the Switch 2 will still be OLED! But more than likely, it will start off with an LCD screen.

The next section of the video shows all the game launching with the NSW2:

  • Mario Kart Sequel

  • Metroid Prime 4

  • Pokemon Legends: Z-A

  • Nintendo Land 2 (to showcase the new Joy-Cons and the new dual-screen functionality)

Sports for variety:

  • NBA (basketball popular in NA and Japan)

  • MLB (baseball popular in NA and Japan)

  • FIFA (EA Sports FC) (most popular sports internationally)

  • WWE sequel

Microsoft Games:

  • Halo Collection

  • Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 (first one is on the Switch 1)
