Where to Watch

You can watch the Nintendo Switch presentation live broadcast via the embed above, on the official Nintendo Switch site, Nintendo’s Twitch channel, or the Nintendo YouTube channel. In our experience the Twitch channel is generally the best place to watch, but you have options if you prefer other streaming platforms. Just remember to turn off the HTML5 player if you’re watching on Twitch to avoid potential audio sync issues.
