Tomorrow Nintendo is expected to reveal additional details about its upcoming console, the Nintendo Switch. The good news is that if you move quickly, you might be able to pre-order one of the consoles. This is according to a recent tweet by the Nintendo NY Twitter account (via Engadget) in which limited quantities will be made available.
A limited quantity of pre-orders for the #NintendoSwitch will begin on 1/13 at 9AM while supplies last at #NintendoNYC.

It is unclear as to how many units is considered “limited quantity”, so you might want to be quick about it. Note that while pre-orders will be live, the console is still on track for a release this coming March, so it’s not as if you will be getting it ahead of everyone else. We guess the only upside is that you’ll be guaranteed a unit in the event that it sells out really quickly and supply is not expected for months.
Presumably we will also be told the pricing especially if pre-orders are going live. Recently Target appears to have given the console a placeholder price of $299.99, which is slightly more expensive than a previous report in which the console is said to cost around $250. However like we said pricing should be revealed in tomorrow’s presentation.
In addition to pricing, we can also potentially expect to learn more about the console’s features, hardware, and most importantly, the list of games that will be available for it at launch, or at least in the near future, so check back with us tomorrow for the details.
