Nintendo Direct focused on Switch 2: Apr 2nd.

Looks like joy-cons will have 'mouse-like' functionality and there's a 'C' on right joy-con but its functionality is not reveled. New Mario Kart showcased would probably be one of the first exclusives.

Donkey Kong has a new design, it’s definitely the new game.

Everyone has a new design, maybe I'm more familiar with my Marios than most but I could tell immediately it has a more cartoonish design, and characters have a rubbery kind of stretch and bounce to their animations. You can see it notably on the closeup of Mario where he hops into a drift.

The art style is somewhere between the 2010s bog-standard Mario and Super Mario Bros Wonder.
