Masquerading as the mysterious NX for a while, last year Nintendo lifted the veil on their latest home entertainment console – the Switch .This month, it’s finally available in-store – here’s what you can expect to find.
The Switch console itself can be removed from the dock and function as a completely separate entity – pretty cool, right?
A crisp 6.2” touchscreen (when it’s not docked).
Two cute little Joy-Cons (either Grey or Neon Blue/ Red) attach to both sides of the console or can be joined together with a Joy- Con Grip.
Amiibo compatibility is featured in the right Joy-Con, meaning all those figurines you’ve collected over the years won’t be going to waste.
The Switch can be played in one of three modes: Standard TV mode, Tabletop Mode (with the console featuring
a kick-stand), and Handheld Mode.
There are heaps of different accessories available, including a pouch for the console, car chargers, different coloured Joy-Cons, and even a Pro Controller that looks more like your standard console controller.
USB Type-C connection for charging.
The battery life will vary depending on what you’re playing – as an example, you’ll get around three hours on Breath of the Wild from a full charge.
32GB of internal memory is included, with a microSD card slot available for anything you can’t fit on the console.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, 1-2-Switch,
Super Bomberman R, Just Dance 2017, Skylanders Imaginator s
Super Mario Odyssey,
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, ARMS, Splatoon 2, Snipperclips
