The Nintendo Switch presentation may be over, but those still wanting more are in luck. If you aren't able to make it out to one of the Nintendo Switch demo event cities, the company also plans to broadcast one of its hands-on events for two days.

In Nintendo's home country, Switch fans can demo the device at Tokyo Big Sight on Saturday and Sunday. At the same time, internet users around the world will get a peek into the convention center where it all happens.
