After almost 2 years of rumors and speculations, Nintendo has finally pulled the curtain on its next console, once codenamed the Nintendo NX, now dubbed the Nintendo Switch.
In what must've been one of the decade's least surprising revelations, the Shift turned out to be a console-handheld hybrid that comes with a tablet-like high definition screen. When the tablet portion is inserted into the Nintendo Switch Dock, it acts as a traditional console and when it is removed from the dock it transforms instantly to portable mode, allowing gamers to take their games on the go or bring multiple units together for local multiplayer experience.
The Switch also comes with detachable "Joy-Con" controllers that can be used individually, combined together to form a traditional gamepad or clipped to the sides of the Switch's screen. And if you don't like the feel of the Joy-Con, Nintendo plans to sell a more traditional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller at a yet-undecided point in the future.
"In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system also enables gamers to play the same title wherever, whenever and with whomever they choose," said Nintendo. "The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system to enable unprecedented new video game play styles."
The Nintendo Switch is scheduled to launch in March 2017 but Nintendo is still keeping its price and specs under wraps.
