A Nintendo Direct was all but assured, once Nintendo announced the Switch 2, but now we have a time and date as to when we can learn more about the upcoming console. Nintendo has announced a Nintendo Direct that will air on April 2, at 6am PT/2pm BST. The announcement says we can expect to see a "closer look" at the Switch 2. While not confirmed, it's likely where we'll see the reveal of a price and launch window.

Dumbass date system

Because it's not the same as yours? It's just written how you would say it out loud.

April (4) 2nd (2) 2025 (2025)

Pretty simple actually.

 

[ut2k4master]

we already knew the date, the only new thing is the time

We gave you a language, kindly use it properly KIDDING

But in all seriousness..... UK times?? I can never figure this shit out as im a dumbass person!

Pretty simple actually.

yeah, but everyone else has it so there's an order of operations
day is smallest, then month, then year
america just being stupid for no reason as usual
imagine using inches and feet in the 21st century

The discussion in this thread isn't even about the damn Switch, it's about the date format. That tells you how excited people are for the event /s

Only "feature" I care about, is if it's hackable.

That's a quirk that's only working with particular languages.

There is a simple reason I like the date format used in Japan (YYYY/MM/DD) the most:
It is in (descending) order AND there haven't been weirdos who messed with that by coming up with a YYYY/DD/MM variant. You simply can't go wrong with it. 7 years from now you could even shorten it to YY/MM/DD and nobody in their right mind could misunderstand it until the year 2101 comes around.

Pretty nice time for the direct, guess I'll be able to watch it this time.

 

[OilFreak]

Lmao they had to wait to reveal this so people who read time differently didn't get confused

April (4) 2nd (2) 2025 (2025)

And I instead would say the 2nd of April 2025.

Pretty simple actually.

And it's also an aberration unique to the US so yeah.

 

[ZeroFX]

Old news.

You know that's the US way to write dates, right? Oh wait you're from UK.

 

[SecureBoot]

Why are we arguing about arbitrary date formats? They're arbitrary. Use the one you're familiar with. It actually doesn't matter.

Anyway. Cool announcement. Kinda early though. I'll probably just watch at work

 

[BraveDragonWolf]

Probably can't be soft modded...

I think that fact has been referenced sufficiently by the first word of his comment.

Jokes aside, I really do think that a country actively using that format doesn't make it any less weird. Heck, my native language pronounces the number 154 like "one-hundred-four-and-fifty" and even though I learned it like that I am objective enough to see that it's defying logic? What I want to say is you don't always have to be on the other side of the fence to see that your own side is messy.

Ah yes, when the hype will have died lol
