After [soft-launching the Switch 2 back in January,](https://www.bttr.reviews/nintendo-unveils-the-switch-2/) tonight's the night the gaming giant delves into the details. Specs! Features! Maybe even some *games* will be unveiled at the special hour-long Nintendo Direct event for the second generation of Nintendo Switch.

Because of the joys of living on a spherical planet, though, the timing for the event doesn't make it easy for middle-aged parents who need to get up early to get their kids to school. Like me.

So sadly, I won't be staying up until midnight to watch the unveiling. But if you have fewer responsibilities or can somehow function on that amount of sleep, then here are the times for the Direct event, depending on where you are in Australia:

- **Thursday, April 3rd 00:00 AEDT** (Melbourne/Sydney/Hobart/Canberra)
- **Wednesday, April 2nd 11:30pm ACDT** (Adelaide)
- **Wednesday, April 2nd 11:00pm AEST** (Brisbane)
- **Wednesday, April 2nd 10:30pm ACST** (Darwin)
- **Wednesday, April 2nd 9:00pm AWST** (Perth)

If you prefer sleep, don't fret. I'll round up all the key information here tomorrow morning.
