Nintendo has been known for making consoles. They’ve been making them for over half a century, and the company has stepped up it’s game to make high end home consoles and handhelds like the Gameboy, DS, and Wii. But the company has also made a lot of game systems that have failed. Some are successes, like the Gameboy, but some failed. Some failed to make it in the home console market, but still got the job done elsewhere. Others failed because of their technical problems, and some failed because of their game line-up. Now, with the new Nintendo Switch, the company is trying something new, and looking to make an attempt at bringing the two kinds of game systems together. The setup includes a
The Nintendo Switch was announced at last year’s E3 expo and was revealed to be a hybrid system that uses mobile gaming technology. Following the announcement, Nintendo remained quiet on the system’s release date, hardware specs, and other details. However, that all changed in January when Nintendo unveiled the system at a dedicated event in Japan. The Nintendo Switch was released on March 3, 2017, and following the announcement, the company revealed that the system would not be producing any more units.
Back in November 2016, Nintendo surprised the world with the announcement of its new upcoming console. It was called the Nintendo NX. The NX is said to be Nintendo’s next-generation video game hardware and is expected to be released in March 2017. It will be the successor to the Wii U and the successor to the current Nintendo 3DS handheld video game console. In this article, we will be looking at Nintendo’s next-generation video game hardware, called the Nintendo NX. Also, we’ll be discussing the pros and cons of such hardware.
After months of speculation about what the NX will look like, Nintendo has finally given us a peek at its next ‘Next Gen’ system.
The device, officially known as the Nintendo Switch, is a cross between the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS, with users being able to ‘Switch’ it from TV to portable playback.
“In addition to delivering single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system also allows players to play the same title anywhere, whenever, and with whoever they choose,” according to the video description.
The trailer is available to see here.
The Joy-Cons are detachable controllers with numerous buttons and a joystick that come with the modular system. The Joy-Cons are seen being swapped between a normal gamepad mode and a portable console mode, which makes the Switch appear like a Wii U controller, in the trailer. Each of the two pieces may be used as a wireless controller, one in each hand, or as two separate micro controllers for two-player games.
The Switch Pro Controller is a controller for the Switch., a conventional non-modular pad, is also seen in the video. This is a departure from the existing Wii U pro controller, and it’s uncertain if previous controllers will work.
Nintendo seems to be focusing on bringing the Switch to a variety of places, including at home, at the park with the dog, on a plane, in a hotel, at a party, and on stage at an eSports event. Players are seen playing four-player games with two Switch systems, suggesting that the consoles may be able to interact wirelessly like the 3DS. It’s possible that this is happening via the Nintendo network.
“I hope this first look at Nintendo Switch has piqued our fans’ interest and caught their imagination with the possibilities and flexibility of play it provides,” said Kamon Yoshimura, Nintendo Australia’s Managing Director.
Games will be on cartridges rather than discs, which may seem like a step backwards, but it works well for the Nintendo 3DS. Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, NBA 2k, and an unannounced Super Mario title are among the titles seen in the video. Nintendo’s amiibo toys can be seen in the backdrop of the living room, so we may presume they’ll work with the Switch.

From the moment the Nintendo Switch was officially released,
Nintendo Switch is stored at home in the Nintendo Switch Dock, which connects the system to the television and allows you to play with family and friends in the comfort of your own home. Simply remove the Nintendo Switch from the dock, and the system will immediately switch to portable mode, allowing you to enjoy the same amazing gaming experience you had at home.
The Nintendo Switch’s mobility is aided by its brilliant high-definition display. It allows you to take your whole home gaming system with you to the park, on an airline, in a vehicle, or to a friend’s apartment.
By detaching the detachable Joy-Con controllers from either side of the Nintendo Switch, gaming begins. One player may use a Joy-Con controller in each hand; two players can each hold one; or a group of people can utilize several Joy-Con controllers for a range of gaming possibilities.
They may be readily reinstalled or slid into a Joy-Con Grip attachment to mimic a more conventional controller. Alternatively, the player may utilize a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller instead of the Joy-Con controllers if they want.
Furthermore, several individuals may bring their Nintendo Switch devices together to compete in local multiplayer face-to-face games.

The video and press release still leave a few things unresolved. Backward compatibility isn’t mentioned, and the screen doesn’t have any touchscreen features. More details regarding the system, including launch games and pricing, will be revealed in the months building up to its March 2017 debut.
At first look, what do you think of the Nintendo Switch? We’re thrilled, but like with any system, it’ll be interesting to see what first- and third-party titles are included in the launch roster.
