Australian times for the big Nintendo Switch 2 Direct blowout

by Daniel VuckovicMarch 31, 2025

Nintendo have decided to grace us with even more Switch 2 news this week, but the additional streams are not at the best times for us.

The big Switch 2 Direct is still happening tonight, April 3rd for some, April 2nd for most everyone else and they confirmed overnight that the showcase will run for 60 minutes. For those who remember the original Switch reveal event, that was around the same length, so it should be packed with information.

If you are going to watch it live, then here’s when you’ll need to be up;
