Today, at 8 p.m. Pacific Time / 11 p.m. Eastern Time, Nintendo will fully reveal the Nintendo Switch! You can watch the Nintendo Switch reveal live stream below.
At home, Nintendo Switch rests in the Nintendo Switch Dock that connects the system to the TV and lets you play with family and friends in the comfort of your living room. By simply lifting Nintendo Switch from the dock, the system will instantly transition to portable mode, and the same great gaming experience that was being enjoyed at home now travels with you. The portability of Nintendo Switch is enhanced by its bright high-definition display. It brings the full home gaming system experience with you to the park, on an airplane, in a car, or to a friend’s apartment.
Gaming springs into action by removing detachable Joy-Con controllers from either side of Nintendo Switch. One player can use a Joy-Con controller in each hand; two players can each take one; or multiple Joy-Con can be employed by numerous people for a variety of gameplay options. They can easily click back into place or be slipped into a Joy-Con Grip accessory, mirroring a more traditional controller. Or, if preferred, the gamer can select an optional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to use instead of the Joy-Con controllers. Furthermore, it is possible for numerous people to bring their Nintendo Switch systems together to enjoy local multiplayer face-to-face competition.
Nintendo previously announced that following tonight’s official unveiling, Nintendo Switch will be the star of an interactive multi-city tour that is open to the public on select days. The currently-scheduled cities that are part of the Nintendo Switch reveal tour include: New York – Jan. 13-15; Toronto – Jan. 27-29; Washington, D.C. – Feb. 10-12; Chicago – Feb. 17-19; San Francisco – Feb. 24-26; and Los Angeles – March 3-5.
The first two days of each of these tour stops is invite-only, but Nintendo is changing things up and asking fans to join the fun on the third day. The Sunday stop of each tour is open free to the public, so anyone that wants to be among the first people in the world to experience Nintendo Switch will have her or his chance. Space is very limited, however, and fans will be let in on a first-come, first-served basis. Early arrival is highly recommended. For more information, click here.
