Nintendo UK has sent out a short announcement about next week’s Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017. As previously mentioned, it’ll kick off at 8 PM PT / 11 PM ET on January 12, which is 4 AM in the UK / 5 AM in Europe on January 13.

Nintendo says that the live stream will be broadcast in Japanese, though with English voiceover. Additionally, “key announcements” will be shared on the Nintendo UK Twitter account. Nintendo of America will almost certainly be doing the same.

A live stream is already in place on Nintendo’s Japanese YouTube channel. You should be able to watch it on the official Switch site as well. Nintendo of America will likely be streaming on Twitch and YouTube.

In December, Nintendo offered its UK fans an opportunity to go hands-on with Switch. After receiving an email, they’d simply need to visit a certain page to be entered into a lottery.

Those who happened to be selected are now starting to receive follow-up emails from Nintendo. If you’ve won, you should be able to play Switch on either January 14 or January 15.

Tom Phillips of Eurogamer has come forward with another report on the Switch, following numerous reports of his that turned out to be correct. Today, he talked about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s release date – or release dates, rather. According to his sources, Breath of the Wild will launch in March in both North America and Japan, but the situation in Europe is still unclear. Supposedly, Nintendo of Europe was operating under the assumption that the game would not launch in March alongside the Switch itself and was pushing for a long period of localisation and quality assurance.

However, plans supposedly changed at some point during the last couple of months, and the higher-ups in at Nintendo in Japan wanted to make the Switch launch lineup as strong as possible, and thus decided to make Breath of the Wild a launch title in both North America and Japan.

The YouTube page for the upcoming Switch event is now up, although the stream has obviously not started yet. The page does note how long until the event starts, though, so if you want a gentle reminder of the hype, look no further.
