After the reveal of the Nintendo Switch gaming console, a lot of fans and tech enthusiasts alike are burning with questions about the details of the product's features. As such, the most asked about questions for the console involved its retail price and the titles that will be included in its game library once it launches.

According to the BGR, it seems that the most pressing questions most people have will be answered, but not this year. After all, the details will be revealed at the Nintendo Switch Presentation on January 12, 2017.

Nintendo has announced that it will host the media event in Tokyo, Japan, which will focus on revealing the specific launch date and pricing for the Nintendo Switch. The awaited event will also include a sneak peek at the games currently being developed for the newest console hybrid.

So far, there are only a few games revealed to be officially confirmed for the Switch, and it includes the highly-anticipated "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" as well as a plethora of other games such as "Dragon Quest XI," "Just Dance 2017," and "Project Sonic 2017."

It is still unconfirmed whether or not the two games that appeared in the console's teaser trailer — "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" and "NBA 2K17" — will be ported to the new console.

After the presentation, it is believed that some of the members of the press in the U.S. and in Europe can then get to the sampling events where the Switch will be showcased. Also, there will be some hands-on events for everyone before the game launches.

Digital Trends has yet to confirm anything for the try-out event, but it can be expected that the big games such as the aforementioned new "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" game will be tested out.

Regardless, the Nintendo Switch is expected to be released on March 2017 worldwide.
