Today’s the big day, folks!  The big N will finally be revealing more juicy information about their next console, the Nintendo Switch, via The Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017. We got our first official look at the new hybrid hardware back in October with a three minute clip demonstrating how the machine is capable of evolving from a home console to a mobile platform simply by undocking the tablet-like device. But of course, that was only to whet your appetite for the futuristic gaming rig. Tonight is Nintendo’s first opportunity to really sell the Switch to everyone. The stream is set to kick off at 8 p.m. PST/ 11 p.m. ET this evening. Lucky for you fine peeps, you can watch it above when it goes live.
We suspect the stream will dive head first into the Switch’s specs, features, and finally reveal when we can expect the console to hit shelves. There will likely be a few game reveals as well with a Treehouse Live event scheduled for tomorrow at 6:30 a.m/9:30 a.m. that gives a more in-depth look at the upcoming titles featured in tonight’s presentation. As for the the console itself, we know that it can do that nifty transformation trick where it switched from a home console to a handheld. We also know that the tablet aspect is actually the console itself, and slides into the dock to stream your games to your TV.
If the mega-Japanese gaming company hits the right price point and reveals some sick launch titles, I suspect the hype for the Switch will grow exponentially. For a rundown of what we hope to see on the new hardware, check out this post right here.
