Nintendo unveils its new console: Nintendo Switch

Nintendo just unveiled its new gaming console – it’s called the Nintendo Switch, and it allows you to play both on your TV and while on the go, with the same console and controllers. The introduction video shows very well what the console can do, and I have to admit – it looks pretty awesome.

As both a console and a portable device, the Nintendo Switch will use cartridges known as Game Cards. The portability is one of the system’s most important features; Nintendo’s trailer showed people using the Switch in handheld mode on a plane, in a car and on a city rooftop. Nintendo said that people can bring multiple Switch units into the same place for “local multiplayer face-to-face competition.”

No information on pricing yet, but it should be available March 2017. It’s powered by Nvidia hardware, but that’s about all we know about its capabilities. I’m quite curious to see if the device takes a performance hit once you undock it and use it on the go.
