Nintendo has announced their latest home gaming system, called the ‘Switch’. On top of providing single and multiplayer experiences at home, the Nintendo Switch can be used as a mobile gaming system. That’s right – a home gaming system that doubles as a portable gaming device!
At home, the Nintendo Switch rests and recharges in the Switch Dock that connects to the TV, allowing you to use it like a traditional gaming system. Lift it from the dock, and the system instantly transitions to portable mode. A bright, high-definition display allows you to bring the full power of a gaming console wherever you want.
Gaming springs into action by removing detachable Joy-Con controllers from either side of Nintendo Switch. One player can use a Joy-Con controller in each hand; two players can each take one; or multiple Joy-Con 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 systems together to enjoy local multiplayer face-to-face competition.
