You can watch the Nintendo Switch presentation here.

Today finally marks the day that Nintendo will reveal more information about the Nintendo Switch. The upcoming home/portable hybrid game console will have a live-streamed presentation to showcase additional features.

The presentation will broadcast at 11 pm ET / 4 am GMT and can be streamed from the embedded live Youtube video.

Since the initial reveal of the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo has remained somewhat silent about the console until now. Amid various rumours, gamers will be interested to know what the launch line-up will entail as well as other hardware and software features from the console.

It is unclear what will actually be revealed in this presentation, but do expect more of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, other launch titles and the starting console price / launch date.

This stream will be updated with a live-blog on this page. Refresh to see new text-content.
