Digital Foundry analyses Breath of the Wild running on the Nintendo Switch

So you may want to hold on to your 3DS after all.

Nintendo should be launching the Switch with a Mario title to get consumers excited, but a game starring the plumber (Super Mario Odyssey) will not come out until the end of the year. First, it’s not hard to see why Nintendo would prefer to have one console as a unified place for all its properties. An AC adapter and HDMI cable will also be included. In this gaming mode, two players can use the Joy-Con as two separate controllers and share a game like Mario Kart 8. Each Joy-Con fits naturally in the palm of your hand and has an analog stick that can also be pressed like a button.

The most prominent feature of this is the tablet like display.

The hardware itself looks impressive and in a similar fashion to the Nintendo Wii and Wii U’s presentations the focus was heavily on what the controllers-the Joy-Cons-are and how they can be used which was very interesting.

The Splatoon 2 release date was reportedly listed on United Kingdom retailer Game.co.uk as set for August 18 on the Nintendo Switch. Of course 1TB cards do exist, and the Switch can support up to 2TB in capacity, you simply can’t buy those yet.

Forget everything you know about The Legend of Zelda games. Players can play against each other with two consoles.

According to Tech Times, Nintendo made an official launch on January 13, 2017 and the hybrid console’s price was unveiled to be $299.

In the past, friend codes were an effort by Nintendo to join the online multiplayer trend while still keeping the children they like to focus on as their preferred audience safe. Moreover, battery life can keep going for over six hours. The device comes with a USB Type C charging port. You can also play while charging.

Most fans and avid gamers alike are familiar with the slew of games that have announced their plans on getting released for the highly-anticipated Nintendo Switch.
