Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Switch Press conference: January 12 2017 in Tokyo

Consumers will be able to try the device at "sampling events" after the presentation at later dates.

This is cool though. Nintendo is "Apple Keynote"-ing this. Even though PS4 and XBO did the same thing.



Around the Network

Fucking yes.



I thought live streams were dead.



My body is.... kind of... ready?

Why not earlier?

I guess it's still better to have a confirmed date, rather than sitting around for like 5 months waiting for an announcement :p

My guess would be they want to avoid the Pro right now. If that does well enough at launch, it might hog the limelight through the holidays.

It could also just be Nintendo being Nintendo though :p

ITS HAPPENING!!!! AGAIN!!!



... Well I know what I'll be doing on the 12th now



Nah. Couldn't care less. I don't know how they can try to hype up a Nintendo branded 720p tablet, but it will be interesting to see them try.

By then I'll more than likely be looking at getting a PS4 Pro.

Yep! Too much stuff happening before the new year. By January people may be spending less time on their new games 



Pocky Lover Boy! 

This is really good news. Somewhat of an atonement for the past 3 E3s, I guess you could say?



bet: lost
