At 3pm today (BST), Nintendo will launch a trailer for the new console, currently going under the name of NX.

There is scant information on how much will be revealed, but I’d guess they’d need at least a console name and a final release date.

If we’re lucky, we might even get a few launch games and a glimpse at the console and controller, though to be honest it’s unlikely given their recent form.

The worst case scenario will be that we are just told there has been a delay to the release and they then give a non-specific new release of Q3 FY2018.

I guess we’ll find out at 3pm.
