Best Posts in Thread: Nintendo Switch Gaming Console

After years of rumors and speculation, Nintendo has finally revealed its latest console — the Nintendo Switch — and if early first impressions are anything to go by, it looks like it was worth the wait.

In typical Nintendo style, the Japanese company decided not to hold a big unveiling event, and instead post a simple three-minute trailer to its website and YouTube account showcasing exactly what the new console will be able to do.


From the trailer we can gather that the Switch is a portable console hybrid, designed to be taken on the road or hooked up to a TV at home. The reveal video didn’t gift us much in terms of actual specs and information, but it did show a lot of different shots of the system. We’ve broken them all down here below.

You can play the Switch on your TV, thanks to the Nintendo Switch Dock


This is what it looks like…


It uses cartridges, not discs


When you leave the house, the Switch can be pulled up out of its dock


You can then use the console on-the-move using two Joy-Con controllers, which look like this…


They can be attached to either side of the Switch…


Or you can combine them using the Joy-Con Grip…


To create a portable controller


The switch then acts as a screen, using handy fold-out stands at the back of the console


Which means you can use it to play split-screen two player

Pretty exciting, huh? The Nintendo Switch is coming out in March 2017, stay tuned for more information.
