We already know that Nintendo will be revealing lots more detail about its new Switch console on 13 January. Now the price has leaked, along with a Treehouse Live event that has been announced.

Dutch tech site TechTastic has leaked the Nintendo Switch price as €250 with a UK Game retail price of £200. There will also be a larger storage version with a game bundle for £250.

Also revealed is a gaming event. You might remember the Treehouse Live name as it was also used for the gameplay reveal of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Now it’s going to be the platform for lots of new gameplay footage from the Nintendo Switch.

The Treehouse Live event, streamed on YouTube and Twitch, will kick-off after the main Nintendo Switch reveal on the 13th.

Nintendo

The Switch reveal is expected to feature all the juicy details we’ve been longing for - like its price, release date, specs and - of course - launch titles. Here’s hoping Zelda: Breath of the Wild makes it for release with the console, expected in March. Even if it doesn’t, we expect there to be plenty more in-game footage revealed at the Treehouse Live event.

The Switch reveal will be broadcast live at 4am UK time on Friday 13 January with the Treehouse Live broadcast to follow several hours later, after you’ve had a chance for some shut eye, as it begins at 2:30pm UK time.
