Nintendo recently announced that the proper unveiling of the Switch, the company’s newest home console, would take place on January 12th at Tokyo Big Sight, with the chance for visitors to try it out themselves during the following days. Unsurprisingly, this won’t be the only time potential buyers will be able to get their hands on the Switch. Today, Nintendo announced that the Switch will be playable at Tokaigi 2017: Game Party Japan on February 11th and February 12th at Makuhari Messe in Chiba (the same venue used for Tokyo Game Show). Further details were not announced at this point. Nintendo is also listed as the sole “special partner” for the convention.
