More Nintendo Switch news coming in January
Fans hoping for more concrete details on the Nintendo Switch will have to wait a while. The official Nintendo Twitter page has announced that the next full presentation for the console-portable hybrid will take place in Tokyo on January 12th, 2017. The presentation will also be streamed live, likely as a Nintendo Direct.
This will probably be a little disappointing for fans like me who were pretty intrigued by the announcement trailer. It's also a little weird that Nintendo is cutting it so close to the March release of the console to show off games, specs and I would assume pricing and bundle info. Still, it gives me time to catch up on non-Nintendo gaming and work down that Steam backlog, not to mention spend the holidays with my family and girlfriend. Let us know in the comments how you'll be passing the next couple of months.
