Reaction: The First Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
😎 Our Live reaction to the first Nintendo Switch 2 Direct which happened on April 2, 2025. In this direct we finally found out a lot of information about the Nintendo Switch 2 and its upcoming games. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, James Bond: Project 007, lots of games to look forward to!
👥 We are Remco and Tycho, born and raised in Amsterdam, lifelong friends hosting the weekly NintenDUO Podcast — a Nintendo podcast where we dive into the latest Nintendo news, Nintendo Directs, Nintendo Switch 2 rumors, Smash Bros battles, Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, indie games, and more. We’ve been playing Smash Bros competitively since 1999 (Tycho insists Dr. Mario is better than Ganondorf, Remco strongly disagrees). With decades of Nintendo history behind us and a casual living-room setup (cats included), our conversations are unscripted, authentic, and full of laughs — kind of like a Nintendo Direct, except with worse lighting and better jokes.
