When Nintendo first unveiled the Switch 2 via a short teaser video in January, it felt the need to include a few seconds of footage of exactly one new video game running on the console: a new Mario Kart. This will be, numerically speaking, the ninth one, but it's very possible Nintendo calls it something other than Mario Kart 9.

See the first Switch 2 games in action during the Nintendo Treehouse: Live presentations on April 3 and April 4 at 10 a.m. ET.

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.
