Whether it’s at the Direct or the livestreams, we’re seeing more Mario Kart this week (YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If Wednesday\u2019s Switch 2<\/a> showcase isn\u2019t enough for you, Nintendo<\/a> will have even more reveals to share throughout the rest of the week.<\/p>\n

You probably know by now that Nintendo will be holding a showcase tomorrow all about the Nintendo Switch 2<\/a>. In fact, you probably already have the livestream open in another tab in preparation.<\/p>\n

Its exact contents are a mystery, but it\u2019s expected to share a lot of new info about the console and its games, considering it\u2019s set to be the longest Nintendo Direct ever<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Turns out that\u2019s not all Nintendo has planned for this week, as it will also be sharing deeper dives and hands-on gameplay for certain Switch 2 games<\/a> for two days after the showcase.<\/p>\n

As announced on its social media channels, Nintendo Treehouse will be holding livestreams on Thursday, April 3 and Friday, April 4. Exactly how long these livestreams will last hasn\u2019t been specified but both will start at 7am PT, which is 3pm BST here in the UK.<\/p>\n

For anyone unfamiliar with Nintendo Treehouse, it\u2019s a division of Nintendo of America mostly responsible for localising the company\u2019s games for the region. Since 2014, it\u2019s occasionally held livestreams to show off upcoming games.<\/p>\n

Nintendo hasn\u2019t said which games will be shown, but that\u2019s obviously because they haven\u2019t been announced yet. One of them could very well be the new Mario Kart<\/a>, which was teased in the initial Switch 2 reveal, but the rest are anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n

Whatever will be shown is bound to be interesting though as a hands-on demo usually gives a better idea of how games work in action, when compared to curated trailers.<\/p>\n

Join us on April 3rd and April 4th at 7 a.m. PT each day for a Nintendo Treehouse: Live | Nintendo Switch 2 presentation featuring hands-on gameplay of #NintendoSwitch2<\/a> games! pic.twitter.com\/gsi0MqyZyZ<\/a><\/p>\n

The livestreams may also serve as an indicator of what people can expect from the Switch 2 live events<\/a> Nintendo is holding over the coming months. Anyone who managed to land a ticket will get to try out the Switch 2 early.<\/p>\n

It seems fair to assume whatever games are shown in the Nintendo Treehouse streams have a good chance of being present at these events, although not necessarily all of them.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, tickets were given out via a lottery system, so you can\u2019t just waltz in. The London event is taking place next weekend on April 11 to April 13 – so you can expect attendees to share video footage and photos from that as well.<\/p>\n

The Switch 2 isn\u2019t expected to launch until June<\/a>, although that is currently only a rumour. Ideally, Nintendo will reveal have a concrete release date during tomorrow\u2019s showcase, as well as pre-order details and pricing.<\/p>\n
