Nintendo Switch 2 Direct Reveals Exciting News on Silksong and More!
Alright, folks, the wait is over! The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct has wrapped up, and there’s a ton of exciting news to dive into. But let’s cut straight to the chase—yes, Hollow Knight: Silksong made an appearance! It popped up in a sizzle reel, and while we didn’t get a release date, just seeing it in the showcase was enough to send fans into a frenzy. It’s been years of speculation, delays, and silence, so even a brief glimpse is a big deal.
Now, let’s talk about the Switch 2 itself. The event was jam-packed with reveals, confirming details that have been floating around for months. First up, the hardware—Nintendo officially confirmed that the Switch 2 will support 4K resolution when docked. However, it does come with a trade-off: the 120Hz refresh rate drops to 60Hz in this mode. Still, this is a massive step up from the original Switch, and it should make games look better than ever.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Nintendo event without some jaw-dropping game announcements. From Software is bringing a brand-new title called The Duskbloods, an action-packed multiplayer experience that’s a significant departure from their usual single-player-focused games. If you’re a fan of Elden Ring or Dark Souls, this could be right up your alley.
And let’s not forget about all the returning classics. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are getting enhanced Switch 2 editions with improved visuals and HDR support. There’s also a brand-new 3D Donkey Kong game called Donkey Kong Bananza, which looks absolutely delightful.

On top of that, Mario Kart World is coming, and it’ll be bundled with some Switch 2 consoles. If you’re planning to pre-order, this might be the best way to get the most bang for your buck. Speaking of pre-orders, they officially kick off on April 9, so mark your calendars!
One of the most surprising announcements was the introduction of GameCube games to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Titles like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Soulcalibur II, and F-Zero GX are making a comeback, exclusive to the Switch 2.
Now, let’s talk pricing. The standalone Switch 2 will cost $449, while the Mario Kart bundle comes in at $499. Additionally, Nintendo revealed a whole lineup of accessories, including a Pro Controller for $79, a new Dock Set for $109, and even a Switch 2 Camera for $49.
For those worried about game storage, here’s an important note—Switch 2 will use MicroSD Express cards, which means standard MicroSD cards from the original Switch won’t be compatible. If you’re upgrading, you might need to invest in new storage as well.
Nintendo really came out swinging with this Direct, and it’s clear they’re aiming to make the Switch 2 a worthy successor to the original. With a strong lineup of first-party and third-party games, improved hardware, and long-awaited updates like the glimpse of Silksong, there’s plenty to be excited about.
So, are you pre-ordering the Switch 2? And what was your favorite announcement from the Direct? Let’s talk about it!
