Nintendo Direct is going to be the can’t-miss showcase of the season, but I'm just ready for the rumors to finally relent.

Nintendo's first big Switch 2 Direct is finally here. It's a long presentation, and I expect to learn a lot about the new console.

As per Nintendo tradition, the showcase will be rather early when April 2 rolls around if you're over in the PT or ET timezones so you'll want to set an alarm – or two. Nintendo has also confirmed that the Switch 2 Direct will last up to 60 minutes, so bring some snacks if you don't want to miss a beat.
