Nintendo has confirmed that it will be "offering a closer look at Nintendo Switch 2" on its April 2 Direct at 9 AM ET.

Before, we only knew what day the Switch 2 Direct would be. Now we know the date and the time. Exciting stuff, I know, but at least it gives us more information than watching the brief Switch 2 trailer over and over again for more Mario Kart 9 easter eggs, or a sign from God.

Mario Kart 9 appears to take the Switch 2 back in time, swapping out Princess Peach’s sleek racing suit for the outfit she wore when she debuted in the kart racing series.
