Nintendo will hold an event this January 13 to reveal more details of its next console, Switch. Expect several announcements, all of them equally important. Price, specific date of launch, the accessories, game modes, and titles that will accompany the Switch are some things that we expect to see, and hear.
The event will be very early, for which we are on this side of the pond. Nintendo agendó the event for the morning of this Friday, at exactly 9:30.m. hour of the east coast of the united States (6:30 to.m. of the Pacific).
How to keep track of the event of Nintendo Switch
Nintendo will be releasing at the time the news and the more relevant ads in their social networking accounts, but if you want to follow the event (almost) in the flesh and as if you were there, Nintendo will also have a live video stream, although nothing assures us that it has subtitles, or that there will be Spanish translation.
The company’s games will also be an event for Asia, which will be January 12 at 8:00 p. m. time in the eastern united States. The event will also be able to follow through the video platforms of Nintendo; in addition, on Twitter with the hashtag #NintendoSwitch.
Nintendo still has not put the stream in your YouTube channel, but will soon in this link. For the hardcore gamers, the event is also broadcast via Twitch.
Price of the console
Another of the great enigmas — that we hope will be resolved in the presentation — is the price of the Switch. Nintendo has a habit of putting a price a bit high for their consoles, even if it is one that on many occasions their fans are willing to pay.
In the case of this new console, it seems that the price is to be placed on the right. The majority of reports suggest a cost ranging between US$ 200 and US$ 300 for the unit. However, we expect at least two versions of the console, with different prices.
These prices would be similar to those that had the Wii U at launch, which cost US$ 300, with the option of a more complete version for US$ 350.
Nintendo consoles are not measured from you to you with consoles of Sony and Microsoft, since the first would end up losing. However and just to contextualize, the new PS4 and Xbox One S have a price of$ 299.

release Date
Nintendo has only confirmed that the Switch has a release date set to march, although we do not know on what day and in what regions it will come off.
What’s more likely is that Nintendo will give priority to Japan (and other regions of Asia) and to the united States, these two countries that could receive the console first-hand and in the first wave of availability. Countries of Europe would be the second to receive it.
Laura Kate Dale, an expert journalist of video games, says that the console could arrive on the 17th of march, a bunch of countries, and its availability would be that same week (but different day) in the rest of the world.
Surely during Friday’s event, Nintendo will clear all the doubts and tell you the exact date.
technical Specifications
Nintendo does not compare with the rest of the consoles of big size because they do not put as much emphasis on placing components ultrapoderosos that give life to graphics that melt the retina. Instead, Nintendo is focused on consoles that are able to offer the best experience with their video games, most of them created by the company.
With this in mind, it speaks of a power lower than that of other consoles.
According to some leaks, the heart of the Switch will be from Nvidia, based on the chip Tegra X1, which translates to a graphic processing power of the 256 cores Maxwell and eight cores in the processor. Also, the Switch will be able to play content in 4K at 30 (fps) frames per second, thanks to the HDMI output port 1.4.
The processing power of the console, according to rumors, will depend on whether it is subject to its charging base or if it is being used as a portable console. When the Switch is in its base, the GPU will run at a speed of 768MHz, while in laptop mode the console will decrease your speed clock to 307.2 MHz.
Games that you will see in the Switch
A console may be cheap, you can have a hundred horsepower or the design more beautiful, but without games to make it fun, it will be a piece of furniture more in the living room.
The good thing is that Nintendo already gave us a glimpse of the games that will accompany your console, in addition to distributors that are committed to launching games for the Switch. to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a new installment of 3D Super Mario and Dragon Quest XI are some of the titles confirmed. In the promotional video of the console, you can also see other games, like Mario Kart, NBA and Skyrim, even though these are not written on stone.
it Is rumored that the Switch will have the capability to be a virtual machine, so you will be able to play titles from consoles past. In addition, it was expected to reach a shipment of Pokémon to the Switch, something that will not be so surprising given the success of Pokémon Go.
The production of video games, girls and large, also already be added to the Switch. Activision, Autodesk, Bandai, Codemaster, 505 Games, DeNA, Koei, Konami, Square Enix, Ubisoft, among many more, will launch games for the console.
Anything else?
Nintendo could detail the information of the accessories that will accompany the console, as the base, the controls of the game, and even the supposed virtual reality goggles that will be compatible with the Switch for some games.
