Nintendo Switch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uik5fgIaI

"At 10am EST this morning Nintendo dropped a Twitter bomb with the announcement of its much anticipated new console: the Nintendo Switch. Info about the Switch has been leaking out for the better part of a year now, but until today the Switch was referred to publicly as the NX.

Specs are scarce at the moment with the trailer, embedded below, only showing how you can use the Switch, not what it can do game wise.



But holy hell how you can use it. The Switch itself isn’t the usual boxy console. It’s a monitor that appears to be about 6 to 7 inches wide. When used with the TV it slots into place in a dock, but it can be pulled out of the dock and transported anyway.


All the Ways You Can Play the Nintendo Switch in Gifs

We’ve known for some time now that Nintendo’s upcoming console would have portability baked in. The

Controllers come in two flavors. A traditional, boring, controller (Switch Pro) and the chunky monkey new Joy-Con controller that can be broken into pieces with the two primary halves used to control the game. Those two halves can be slotted onto the Switch for a giant unwieldy looking mobile system, or they can be used wirelessly.

If used wirelessly they can actually each be used by separate players, as evidenced in the moment where two people are playing a new MarioKart game wirelessly.


Currently Nintendo has released no details on pricing, and we have a lot of questions, but the system, which will feature titles from nearly 50 game publishers, will go on sale in March 2017.

Nvidia has confirmed the Switch will feature a custom Tegra processor."

Looks interesting, wondering how powerful it'll be hopefully it's a generation on from the k1 processor. I'm not a big fan of the dock though as it looks a bit boring plus it'll be hard to fit round your average TV where it won't get in the way of the TV itself. Especially considering it'll need the headroom to slot the console into therefore ruling out placing it in an av unit.

This looks pretty sweet. Super psyched about a new Kart. I'll buy it for that reason alone.

Me too. More so for a potential SNES Classic.

Love Nintendo, but the whole mobile thing is lost on me. At the same time, I'm always excited for new Nintendo tech, and more importantly, Nintendo software.

Well the design is a little on the nose but that's okay, tech doesn't have to be pretty, just work right. I know what you're saying about space though, It'd be helpful if it could dock on it's side some how but for now I don't see that happening.

Hey it'll make business trips a whole lot more fun when you're stuck in a hotel.

The new Mario looks great as well, they seem to have third party support too.

Looks like SD Cards, no specs for storage yet though. But with the way they're improving SD cards and space on those you could have some very large games.

Me too, I'm probably getting that just for the novelty.

If they made a system that has the same power as ps4 and xbone and can get the same third party support then they would do much better as they have the best first party games imo.
