It's been months since the announcement, but Nintendo is finally giving a closer look at the Switch 2. A Nintendo Direct stream starts April 2 at 9:00 a.m. ET that will reveal new details about the upcoming system.

Right now, the main things we know about the Switch 2 hardware that distinguish it from the original Switch are that it's bigger and has more horsepower inside. The widespread expectation is that it will be roughly as powerful as a PlayStation 4 Pro or maybe even a Steam Deck, possibly with the ability to upscale games to 4K using DLSS technology.

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.
