Nintendo Direct Nintendo Switch 2 time

February 5: If you’ve been wondering when the Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 will be taking place specifically, Nintendo has now narrowed down the proper time. The event kicks off on April 2, 2025 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe.

No other information has been shared about the presentation. Nintendo has not said how long the event will last and what games will be present. However, many announcements are expected and we should more learn about the system in general, including its features and launch date.

Sacre Bleu release date

Today, Noodlecake and Hildring Studios shared the release date for Sacre Bleu. The game is slated for April 17, 2025 as a digital download.

Sacre Bleu is a bullet time action platformer. Although it was initially planned for last year, it ended up seeing a delay.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Gentle Giant has announced that they will be releasing a Nintendo Switch version of Spiritfall in Q2 of 2025.

Spiritfall is an action roguelite with combat mechanics inspired by platform fighters. The original game released for PC on February 28, 2024 and is now making its way to Nintendo Switch later this year.

Here’s some more information about the game:

As we enter April, Nintendo is offering a new bonus for Nintendo Switch Online members. User icons for both Kirby’s Adventure and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror are both up for grabs.

In order to claim these icons, you’ll first need to play the games. That means starting up the NES app for Kirby’s Adventure and the GBA app for Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. After that, you can spend My Nintendo Platinum Points on icons for both titles.

Care Bears Unlock the Magic trailer

Maximum Entertainment, in collaboration with Cloudco Entertainment, issued a launch trailer for Care Bears: Unlock the Magic. Nintendo Switch just received the new adventure platformer based on the TV series.

Catch up on everything you need to know in the following overview:

Pokemon Unite Alolan Raichu and Alcremie

February 27: Two more characters have just been announced for Pokemon Unite, with Alolan Raichu and Alcremie set to join the fray. This is according to the latest news just shared during Pokemon Presents 2025.

Alolan Raichu is dropping first in April – an exact date wasn’t given, but that information will follow later. We actually don’t have a launch window at all for Alcremie, though a 2025 release is expected.

Imran Khan, a games journalist who previously leaked Everybody 1-2 Switch, has claimed that Nintendo had denied Embracer Group development kits for Nintendo Switch 2.

Khan says that Nintendo “deemed them too chaotic”, with that information being based on what was happening around eight months ago. He added that the company was “afraid the kits would go to studios that would then be closed down and then the kits might have gone missing.” Groups that were later sold off from Embracer and later checked back in apparently had more luck.


Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade release date

January 29: Courtesy of Game Source Entertainment, we have the release date for Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade. The title hits Nintendo Switch on April 24, 2025.

Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade, a roguelike action RPG, was originally announced last year. It was initially planned for last October before being delayed.

Two Strikes release date

After we first heard about it last year, Two Strikes has received its release date. The game is confirmed to be hitting Nintendo Switch on April 25, 2025.

Two Strikes is a fighting game made by Retro Reactor Games. It will come with online cross-play matchmaking and an expanded story mode from its PC Early Access debut, uncovering the fighters’ past as they battle through the Shinigami’s Tournament.

After it previously appeared on mobile, Kimono Cats is making the jump to Nintendo Switch. RedDeerGames announced that it picked the title up for publishing today.
