As expected, last week's official reveal of the Nintendo Switch game system both answered questions and created new ones. That was followed this week by an announcement of the next announcement: the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017.

This will take place, as you might expect, next year—as in, on January 12. Both the company's Japanese and American arms made announcements via Twitter on Thursday, so we expect that the livestream will occur simultaneously in multiple languages, much like the company has done for its Nintendo Direct YouTube events in recent years. The Japanese notice mentions a formal Switch event taking place in Tokyo on January 14 and 15, as well.

Curiously, Nintendo described the Switch in this Wednesday night announcement as its "new home gaming system," in spite of its October 20 reveal video revolving very loudly around its portability. In that peppy, millennial-loaded advert, young people were seen satisfying their Switch gaming addiction while attending parties, walking dogs, and taking a halftime break at a pick-up basketball game.

Ars sent questions to Nintendo after the three-minute video launched last week, specifically about Tegra-related technical specs and about the first advertisement's noticeable lack of touchscreen use . At the time, Nintendo responded with a flat statement: "We will make additional announcements about the Nintendo Switch hardware later, before the launch of the product."

This January 12 presentation appears to be the next major source of official information, and the Japanese notice mentions that we should expect to see more Switch software. Nintendo of America, meanwhile, promises that the event will announce the system's price and release date.

Eleven weeks leaves plenty of time for more leaks to come out, of course, which would be fitting. The Nintendo Switch's biggest details, including its home-portable hybrid nature and its use of cartridges instead of discs, leaked well ahead of the system's official reveal. More details that were only teased by the first official reveal have been analyzed and guessed about, as well.
