Nintendo has let us know that there will be a global Nintendo Switch presentation, streamed from an event live in Tokyo on Friday 13, January 2017 from 3pm AEDT. Not other details regarding the event are available, but we can assume this will be a tell-all about the unit, its launch and the subsequent games we'll see.

We'll be following this information barrage up with hands-on details after we were invited down to a preview event to be held in Melbourne on the same weekend, so the weekend of January 13, 14 and 15 will henceforth be known as January Switch Weekend (TM).

For more details, hit up Nintendo.com.au on the Friday evening of the stream. More Switch details can be found on the official Nintendo Switch website.
