Watch: Today’s Nintendo Direct Live Stream Is Right Here

April 12, 2017

Nintendo will host its first Nintendo Direct since the launch of the Switch later today. The presentation is scheduled for 6:00PM ET/3:00PM PT, and is confirmed to feature ARMS and Splatoon 2, two of the device's biggest titles coming in the next few months.

The presentation is also confirmed to feature the 3DS, the most likely candidate being Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.

We had a chance to speak to professional gamers about Splatoon 2 last month, and learned a lot about the game's eSports community. Meanwhile, ARMS remains one of the Switch's most promising new IPs, and should be releasing within the next two months.

The Nintendo Direct will be streamed live via Twitch. The channel can be seen above.
