Nintendo once again rocked the gaming world with their announcement of their upcoming console "Nintendo Switch." While the specs and price is still unknown, the latest video generally received positive reviews because of what the device can do and the included titles in the teaser reveal.
Nintendo has finally unveiled their latest gaming device through a teaser video. Dubbed as "Nintendo Switch" it's a hybrid console/mobile device because of its unique feature that allows players to take their game anywhere. Players can easily load their games for HD gaming on the dock or take the game anywhere by removing the attached console with additional controllers on both sides.
According to Ars Technica, the innovation in mobile and console gaming starts with the handheld device itself. The dock where players can load their mobile gaming device only works as a charging port as well as the output adapter for television. This means the brains of the game is still on the mobile device itself.
If the device can handle HD gaming on larger screens based on the teaser video, the hardware inside the handheld gaming device should be powerful enough to handle the demands. According to Engadget, the upcoming device will ship with the latest Tegra processor that could easily rival current powerful gadgets with serious firepower.
Aside from the powerful processor, the upcoming console also revealed some features that would be a welcome addition for many gamers: multiplayer support on tablet. While this is not new in the world of gaming, Nintendo ups the ante by allowing two layers enjoy the game in the same device. The video shows two players enjoying a friendly game of "Mario Kart" on one handheld mobile device.
The actual specification of the device, its battery life and the suggested retail price of the upcoming device is still unknown. However, it is already generating buzz on its capabilities as well as the upcoming titles already included in the video trailer. The popular gaming company may have seen some downtime because of Wii U, but they are on a good start as they properly present the capabilities and upcoming titles for the Nintendo console.
Nintendo Switch is expected to hit the market March 2017. Watch the console's video here:
