You can watch the live stream right here at 11:00 p.m. ET. We’re expecting the company to show off several new games for the system, presumably a bunch due to launch with the system in March. That’ll be followed on January 13 at 9:30 a.m. ET by a Nintendo Treehouse presentation (via Nintendo’s [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/nintendo "undefined") or [Twitch](http://twitch.tv/nintendo "undefined") channels), which promises “an in-depth look at upcoming games featured in the Nintendo Switch Presentation.” TIME will lay hands on the Switch tomorrow morning, January 13, after which we’ll post our first impressions.
