A surprise Nintendo Direct is coming tomorrow, but don’t expect Switch 2 news

Nintendo announced on March 26, 2025, via Twitter that a Nintendo Direct presentation focusing on upcoming Nintendo Switch games will be held tomorrow, March 27, at 10am EDT/7am PDT.
With the formal reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 in January and a dedicated Switch 2 Direct slated for April 2, the upcoming presentation is expected to be one of the last showcases for the original Nintendo Switch, which is nearing the end of its life cycle.
The Nintendo Direct presentation will be approximately 30 minutes long and will be available to watch live on Nintendo's official YouTube channel, featuring third-party titles and possibly first-party titles like Metroid Prime 4 and Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
Nintendo has explicitly stated that the upcoming Nintendo Direct will not include any information or announcements regarding the Nintendo Switch 2, including its price, release date, or software lineup.
Following the Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo plans to host a series of Switch 2 preview events starting in New York and Paris on April 4, allowing attendees to try out the console before its expected launch in late spring or early summer of 2025.
