Nintendo Mum On Switch's Battery Life, Whether It Has A Touchscreen

So far, few are impressed. It will succeed the aging Nintendo Wii U as the company's new home console. The excitement was so strong, it drove Nintendo's market value up, skyrocketing the company's value by $1 billion.

When you get home you can insert the tablet back into the dock and your game will be displayed on your TV. You can put it on the kickstand and play hands-free.

As for games. well other than Zelda we didn't see a lot.

But Nintendo has clarified that their upcoming console is designed for a single display experience so it will not function like a Wii U's GamePad. But, like with the Wii and Wii U, Nintendo tends to just do their own thing.

Yes, Nintendo makes family-friendly software. Bethesda's classic RPG Skyrim is noticeably featured in the video.

The device is mainly for family and friends to game together both at home or on the go, acccording to a Nintendo press release. The trailer and poster show seven characters, possibly a reference to "The Magnificent Seven" and hints that we may be able to switch between them simultaneously in combat like in "GTA V". Pokemon Go was developed entirely by Niantic.

Nintendo unveiled the new product Thursday.

There is no definite release date yet for the Nintendo Switch, but it is expected to arrive in March 2017. That includes Rob Glover, a systems engineer from MI who loved playing Nintendo's Zelda and Wii Sports, but has since moved on to mobile titles such as Clash of Clans and Tiny Tower.

"They must find a way to release the Switch at US$299 to stand a chance, that's the threshold..." The details are a bit scarce but this could be a "worthy" successor to the 3DS that will support all your physical games as well. "Let's see what kind of content Nintendo comes out with, but just the gimmicky crossover system isn't enough to get me excited".

The Nintendo Switch will be region-free, in contrast to Nintendo's previous consoles and the 3DS family which were region-locked.

While the Nintendo Switch will house a Custom Tegra processor from Nvidia, Project Scorpio is rumored to have an eight-core up-clocked AMD Jaguar.

Additionally, The Verge highlights the fact that the Nintendo Switch can be used in e-sports, as shown in the console's trailer where players are fighting the wacky shooter game "Splatoon" in a stadium, first practicing in the hallway using the console's portable version before proceeding to do some competitive gaming. What other games were just there for visuals?

"I am sure that Nintendo will have great games for it, as always", said Toto, who covers the gaming industry. That's some solid third-party support, right there.
