Nintendo Switch line-up to get 'in-depth look' next week
The Japanese announcement stream will be followed by a Treehouse Live presentation the following morning.
Nintendo is preparing to roll out the red carpet for its next console, with a presentation planned for next Thursday evening that is expected to give a more specific release date and price. Nintendo of America's Treehouse has now detailed its own stream planned for the following morning at 6:30 AM PT / 9:30 AM ET.

The announcement promises an "in-depth look at upcoming games" that had been previewed in the previous night's presentation, so we're likely to get more details in the more casual Treehouse stream setting. That initial presentation will take place at 8 PM PT / 11 PM ET, due to it broadcasting directly from Japan. Shacknews will bring you all the news from both the presentation itself, and the more in-depth previews the following day.

I thought the whole point of them having these presentations was to eliminate that and communicate directly with everyone.

I found the post:

Turns out this is after the broadcast. I thought it was before. My mistake.-
Ah, a hands on makes sense. I must have missed the other article.

Kind of! The presentation on the 12th will be from Japan, in the evening, and then the US press access is the following day. It may even be happening concurrently with this Treehouse presentation. Depending on where and how they host it you might see Asif and I wandering around somewhere.

Treehouse Live next week, we get two E3s this year!
Also, super res images from the Japanese website: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/assets/img/gallery/gallery01.jpg
You can clearly see the shoulder button on the Joycon when it is removed from the Switch in the bottom image, making it eight buttons and a thumbstick (which I presume also clicks down) per Joycon.
