Nintendo’s next console has been revealed and it is called the Nintendo Switch. Formally known as the Nintendo NX, this new console is a hybrid style console where it can be played as a home console, through a home docking system, as well as being a portable console with snapable, add-on controllers. It was reveled through a short trailer, which was released by Nintendo.

The new design of the Nintendo Switch allows players to not only play their games at home, but “the Nintendo Switch system also enables gamers to play the same title wherever, whenever and with whomever they choose.”

According to the official press release “At home, Nintendo Switch rests in the Nintendo Switch dock that connects the console to the TV and lets you play with family and friends in the comfort of your living room. By simply lifting the Nintendo Switch console from the dock, it will instantly transition to handheld mode, and the same great gaming experience that was being enjoyed at home now travels with you. The portability of Nintendo Switch is enhanced by its bright high-definition display. It brings the full home gaming system experience with you to the park, on a train, in a car, or to a friend’s apartment.”

One player can use a Joy-Con controller in each hand; two players can each take one; or multiple Joy-Con controllers can be employed by numerous people for a variety of gameplay options. They can easily click back into place or be slipped into a Joy-Con grip accessory, mirroring a more traditional controller. Or, if preferred, the gamer can select an optional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to use instead of the Joy-Con controllers. Furthermore, it is possible for numerous people to bring their Nintendo Switch consoles together to enjoy local multiplayer face-to-face competition.”

Several Nintendo brand games are shown throughout the trailer such as Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon and a new 3D Mario game. Currently, there is also a long list of 3rd party support planned for the console with the likes of Activison, Electronic Arts and Square Enix all partnering with Nintendo to create content for the Nintendo Switch.
