Nintendo Switch release date, price and games lineup to be announced on January 12

Nintendo Switch release date, price and games lineup to be announced on January 12

Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima announced plans to reveal major details during Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017, which will be globally livestreamed on January 12, 2017.

The presentation will include information on the console’s release date, pricing, and a preview of games currently in development.

After that, Nintendo plans to hold Switch sampling events, giving consumers, media members, and partners a chance to get in some hands-on action. More information on U.S. and European sampling events will be revealed at a later time.

The same goes for the exact time of the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017.

Nintendo has said there’s more to Switch than it has revealed already and recent patents paint a very interesting picture of an AR-capable machine.

“Very little is currently known about the Nintendo Switch, beyond its handheld-and-console-in-one design. Details like whether the screen on the Switch is a touchscreen, whether it supports MicroSD storage, and important things like battery life remain secret. Can Nintendo show all of these details in a single presentation? Unlikely, but after the relatively information-low debut of the platform, any details are certain to be highly anticipated.

Most highly anticipated will of course be the Nintendo Switch’s launch line-up. Nintendo hasn’t dedicated themselves to a full reveal of their launch games for the Switch, opting for ambiguous language regarding both how many games will be shown and whether or not they’ll actually be launch titles. Still, with a new 3D Mario project and The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim being teased in the announcement video, Nintendo’s certain to impress so long as they show any games at all.”
