The Nintendo Switch presentation isn't far away, taking place at 8pm Pacific / 11pm Eastern on 12th January, which is 4am UK / 5am CET / 1pm Tokyo / 3pm AEDT on 13th January. Now, Nintendo of America has confirmed a follow-up presentation in which its Treehouse team will present Switch games revealed in the initial broadcast.
It'll take place at 6:30am Pacific / 9:30am Eastern / 2:30pm UK / 3:30pm CET on 13th January, which is 1:30am on 14th January in the AEDT timezone.
It should be a terrific opportunity to see some of the revealed titles up close, as the hype around Nintendo's next-gen system will be reaching its peak.
Naturally we'll be live streaming and blogging as it all takes place - will you be tuning in?

Hell yes I'll be tuning in!
Can't wait!
I'm not usually into the whole tree house thing because of how long they are but this one is a must watch!
Sweet! It was obvious people were worried for nothing. After the initial presentation there will be a lot of chatter up until release and hopefully beyond.
Awesome.
Gosh !!
13 January 2017 at 9.30 pm (West Zone Indonesia) ?!
I'll prepare my snacks and drinks.
Terrific news, have that day off gonna (hopefully) get my pre-order in at 9 and then watch this all right afterwards. Super hyped!
Excellent. Should be able to get a good nap between the presentation and this Still not ideal for Europeans at work but hopefully it's pretty in depth and not just more Zelda footage.
It will be funny all the rumor that Emily and Laura said is not true lol
Excellent. I'll go to bed after the 11:00 PM presentation and then wake up the next morning for a treehouse presentation at 9:30. This works out great for me.
Why so soon after the presentation!? I live in England, so for me the Nintendo switch presentation takes place at 4am on Friday 13th January. On the same day (Friday), I have lessons, and the first thing I'm gonna do when I get home at around 3:45 is watch the Nintendo Switch presentation. Therefore, I can't watch the treehouse livestream, live! I'm sure Nintendo will upload the best bits so I might watch them.
Well done nintendo, a decent time to showcase the switch for us Europeans.
Will be tuning in for sure!
@therealgamer Just to play devil's advocate, will it be funny to you if some or all are true?
This is looking very good. It still doesn't work out very good for me and others in Europe looking to watch the livestream and this, but it's better than nothing. All that footage will be available to watch once it's over.
I took Friday the 13th (!!!!) off for a number of reasons, but most have been muscled aside so I can stare at Switch coverage all day.
Did somebody say "games"? The magic word I've been waiting to hear. Uh, um, read.
Hardware is nice, but it's really all about the games.
Oh, damn. At this rate, I better fake an illness or something at work so I can take the 13th off to watch the presentations.
Told you so!
Nice!
At least there will be some info out.
This is promising. Switch Presentation then Treehouse Live then Switch Tour.
I can't take this anymore.
January 12th/13th can't come soon enough.
It is about time.
6:30am...wouldn't be awake for the world at that time
I wish I could take the day off to soak it all in, but I fear the wife would then demand I do it to for actual, important reasons. Such is life.
"Wait.. so now you're going to actually plaaayy the games?"
I'll have to tune in!... Except, I have school. D:<
I said again if zelda don't have a release date in March but in August. They are still making wii u games and 3ds games
4am...the lectures then off to London for the hands on...what a day
YEESSS UNLIKE THE SWITCH PRESENTATION WHICH IS NIGHT TIME, TREEHOUSE IS HAPPENING DURING A SATURDAY MORNING
EDIT ITS A FRIDAY MORNING ACTUALLY NOW IM MAD !!!
Well, I'm gonna be awake from 4am onwards that day. I'd better go to sleep early the previous night.
@therealgamer well only in Europe since they said already USA and Japan will be launch.europe is still in the air
@slim80 Dude you still believe these rumors LOL
Thank you for giving Australian (AEDT) times!
I wonder how long it will be so I can know how late I need to come into work. Haha
Niiiice! Didn't expect a Treehouse Live the morning after the presentation so this is awesome news! Gonna watch this right after I make my pre order at 9 am and I can't wait to see a bunch of the games in action. All aboard the hype train!!!!!!!!!
can't wait!!
These titles will probably be launch titles too.
All aboard.
I'll maybe watch it, but I'm not sure for how long. I don't want to spoil too much for myself.
Yes. Yes, I will be tuning in.
@YouSeemFRAZZLED I can't wait for all of these YouTubers making money off of the Nintendo Switch rumor videos to go away...
I'll still be up at 11 pm ,definitely will be watching 😃
Don't mind these times.
It's just like christmas. Only different is that I have to work both days.
As long as the games are good, I'm excited! If all this turns out to be good (and not to mention all the movies, games, etc expected to come out) does.....does this mean....2017 will be the greatest year in this decade!?
Fingers crossed for Spla2n......
@Dev I'd guess it would probably be comparable to a Treehouse Live at E3 day assuming there's plenty of games in the presentation.
300 hours of the Great Plateau again? Just kidding
Great move from Nintendo!
@3MonthBeef Rumor has it that even more rumors will come!
Welp - guess I'm taking the day off next friday. GG
My head is spinning about the Treehouse Live Show...what will they show besides Zelda and Mario? The rumored Mario x Rabbids crossover? Pikmin 4? Switch versions of Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, Pokkén Tournament or Super Smash Bros. 4? A new Metroid or Donkey Kong Country? Maybe Kirby, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion or Fire Emblem? What about Pokémon Stars? Or a new franchise?
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
@Oubie Fingers crossed for a new Animal Crossing. I haven't played one since City Folk.
I could watch Audrey all day.
2016: the year Nintendo hype was in 2017
Not sure if it's mean or ingenius, they left us starving for new infos for months (let's even say years) and now they're gonna give us everything we wanted to know and more in a single focused overwhelming day XD
I do believe that will make for an exciting Friday, unless it is simply an extended look at Project Giant Robot.
I'm working but I assume these will be available to flick through after. Hopefully.
I hope one of the Treehouse folk is that lady who was so brutal in BotW at E3. Can't remember her name, but she was the most fun player to watch.
HERE WE G<OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
So much for being productive at work that day.
Looks like we're gonna have two E3 this year
TBH, I find the Treehouse things pretty cringe worthy most of the time, but I will probably watch this one.
I have Hype inside of me.
My wish list would be Metroid Prime 4, Super Mario Universe (missed opportunity right there, Ninty) and perhaps... Thousand Year Door HD? Pretty please?
Not gonna get my hopes up, but I am hoping for a surprise (software related) that will have people talking up until March. A game absolutely no one expected (first party or third. Doesn't matter) to be on the docket for the Switch. Nintendo has people talking and speculating and somewhat caring (those who hadn't since whatever console) again. It's got the bazooka at the door. It just needs to pull the trigger and blow it off its hinges
@spawn1210 They'll just make up ridiculous new rumors about the games and their storylines i.e Mario will turn out to be a serial killer. Link is blind in one eye, lol
I'll already be taking the Friday off, since the presentation will start at 2 AM here. This makes it even more of a no brainer.
@bezerker99
oh looky. another event with the treehouse goobers!
The 14th is the real exciting date, when I get to play Switch at the hands-on event in London! Who else is going? Can't wait.
@ogo79 lol should i take that day off from work u think?
@bezerker99
lol yeah.
if yer like me they wont notice yer work load rather yer there or not so id say go for it.
i think thats the trend now anyways
Wait, you mean this thing will play actual GAMES too? This changes everything...
8 pm on thur. Then 630 am fri, right before I leave for work.... Gonna be tight....
Last night I looked up more info on the new Shield to get some insight on what to expect from the Switch and Nvidia is keeping a tight lip, no specs other than there is a Pro version that has 500 GB instead of 16 GB, but for $100.00 more. Whatever is going on I hope Nintendo has a big surprise waiting.
No, I will not be watching. I use nintendolife to summarize new stories like these. Duh!
I'll be at work unfortunately so I'll have to see the stream once I'm off work and back home.
@3MonthBeef NintendoLife... Stop circulating rumors!?
I probably won't be watching any of the Treehouse streaming live (darn work!), but will be sure to catch up on it later.
Wait, did they say "games", from the way half the people on this site have been talking I thought the Switch was only going to get one! Nintendo already had my money. Thanks Nintendoomers for lowering my expectations.
/sarcasm.
@PlywoodStick So we have proof of Reggie's murderous rage, documented no less....we're all ok with this?
Oh boy will I be torn between AGDQ and this. >~<
Of course I'll probably be at work half the day anyway, but that's beside the point.
@Nin10doh Eh, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Such an unfortunate incident... Not his fault that she didn't dive out of the way after he took off his sunglasses, though!
YES! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M YELLING!
Will see everything on the weekend...not too excited and there is no reason to set clocks to watch something (for any system as far as I go)...hmm...guess there's other things that I would rather do, especially since everything will be on here to look at whenever I want. Somehow, I still don't see the Switch being a 'knock-out' seller, but it will definitely sell better than the Wii U...heck, the 'pet rock' sold better than the Wii U!!! Anyways, shouldn't nintendo be doing more commercials, rather than internet videos...there are some people that are not glued to the internet...hopefully nintendo gets the advertising right this time around. Other than that, everyone knows that as soon as all this is revealed, there will be some people praising the console, where other people will be putting it down, and we all know what rhymes with SWITCH...I remember many people calling the Wii U, the P U system, so everyone get ready for the 'put downs'. Other than that, want the console, but doubt nintendo will get the distribution right and it will be shorted again...just hopefully not as bad as the Wii was (almost 2 years before they started sitting on store shelves for more than a few hours).
Hoping for some original titles and not just ports during the treehouse. While I fully expect launch Switch to have Zelda and a port of Mario Kart 8, Smash or something (most likely with a few added bells and whistles) I'm curious if they are going to get any third party support as this is the real key for the Switch being viable in the market. Also hoping for some insight on their online functionality as well as I found the Wii U online dreadful compared to even the original Xbox.
Nintendo hasn't really had much of an impact on the gaming market in a long time and I'm hoping the switch can change people's mind.
RIP everyone in the UK's sleep pattern after this.
So close yet so far.
I'm so excited for next week it's both the Switch detail reveals and my birthday on January 13! I'm so lucky!!
No, I'll be at work but will catch it laterz.
Nice!! It's great that there's a western specific stream as well. There might be some Japan exclusive content in the first Switch Presentation.
@nab1 Mine just nodded and mumbled 'no comment' when I told her I was going to be off. Lol, bless her, as if she would have a say in what is basically my second Christmas 😂
@yuwarite I have a child, ergo I don't have a sleep patterns any more lol
@KirbyTheVampire finger cross my friend, finger cross.
Man I hope it's amazing
That's my birthday, I can't get moaned at for watching, OH YEAH.
@Iggy-Koopa
Right there with you! I was thinking "4am, yup, I'm usually up at that time anyway!
They have quite a long direct, which I assume is to show us the White glove unboxing, then about an hour on how the motion controls will change gaming forever, and finally a voice chat app which allows you to call a friend to tell him to come over because you can't play online with him.
Oh no, I hope I won't have to skip school...
@TbobB Yeah, at first I was like 'lol, but then I though about it and I was like weeps uncontrollably
@UmbreonsPapa Totally, lol.
I will say this, I'm ok with a Donkey Kong announcement as long as we get a Metroid announcement of some kind.... But If we don't hear a thing about a Metroid game, I may RIOT.
As much as I love Donkey Kong and The DK Country series, it's time to do something entirely different with Donkey Kong, maybe something akin to Super Mario 64.
@ogo79 Only way i would devote time to watching these goobers play games is if they were playing NES metroid. Im sure it will be Splatoon or some other noob Wii U game they will be showing off.
@bezerker99
hahaha
oh you know it.
Switch = Wii U version 2.0 lmao
ahh great, some actual concrete information rather that the rubbish that some of these "journalists" would have us believe with their so-called "leaks".
Going to be an early start for us in the UK but totally worth it!!
