For quite a while Nintendo has been secretive over their new gaming console, for a while calling it the \u201cNX\u201d system and keeping everything quiet. Slowly, news outlets rolled out information about what Nintendo\u2019s been up to: stories of their patenting screen and controller designs. Now the secret is out and the Switch is here.<\/p>\n
On Oct. 20, Nintendo held an event to showcase their new console and all it can do. Aside from the usual function of a gaming console, the Switch comes with a modular like controller that can slide out of its holder and attach to a portable screen that allows you to keep playing your game, similarly to the Wii U.<\/p>\n
Along with their technical display, Nintendo has announced some games that would be available for the system, such as \u201cThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild,\u201d a new unnamed \u201cMario\u201d title, \u201cSkyrim: Special Edition,\u201d \u201cPok\u00e9mon Sun and Moon,\u201d as well as future titles from third party developers like Activision, Sega, and Capcom.<\/p>\n
Not much else is known at this time about what the new system is fully capable of. Nintendo has met with criticisms from consumers from the limited information, but with a demo presentation slated for Jan. 12 and the console releasing March of next year, there\u2019s not much longer to wait.<\/p>\n
