Nintendo shares tumbled as much as seven percent on Friday after the Japanese games giant failed to impress with a teaser video of its hotly awaited Switch 2 console. Nintendo shares closed 4.3 percent lower in Tokyo on Friday.

The Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 date is April 2, 2025. While Nintendo does love to drop a showcase announcement 24 hours before it's due to begin, we're being made to wait just under three months for this one.

Nintendo has finally revealed the Nintendo Switch 2 following a stream of leaks but announced a full breakdown of its 2025 launch won't come until a Nintendo Direct airs in April.
