Good thing I requested the day off to watch this event,” commented user KelvinBelmont.“Oh yeah I forgot preorders will probably go up right after. Well, looks like I’m not getting much done at work starting at 9 am that day,” replied user The330Strangla.AdvertAnd you know, they might actually be onto something there. 6 AM PST time is roughly 11 PM in Japan, and around 2 PM here in the UK.The timing is a little bit suspect to me, because if the Direct is roughly an hour long that would mean that it’ll end around midnight in Japan… which is a suspiciously perfect time to open up pre-orders for the console.Either way, the reveal trailer left a little to be desired, so I’m mostly just curious as to what the new Switch is capable of. For the love god, just tell us what that weird little C button on the right joy-con does. It’s been annoying me for months.Topics: Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo, Nintendo SwitchAdvertAdvertAdvert
