The new and long awaited Nintendo Switch was unveiled in October of 2016 and released worldwide on March 3rd, 2017.
This new console was designed with wireless controllers with two joysticks but also can be used like the Nintendo Wii remote. The Nintendo Switch also supports hard copies of games as well as digital downloads.
After many financial losses, the company needed an upbringing that had previously set them apart of the competition with the Wii. The Nintendo Switch was something that Nintendo needed to be successful again.
The Switch has up to 32 GB and can be expanded up to 2 TB if necessary. It also contains a headphone jack to insert a headset or headphones. Nintendo stated they would also look into supporting external storage units for extra storage for the user.
Nintendo had hoped for high expectations after being praised graciously. Only a few units were purchased due to the limited number of game titles that were offered. They are looking to make updates and fix bugs to sell more units worldwide.
The Nintendo Switch is different than the usual gaming system. It can be transformed with the Joy-Con controllers into a more productive controller. They completely change when those controllers are connected to the Switch. When they are connected, the Nintendo Switch becomes portable and handheld. The console has some very new ideas that were tested and looked to be improved on throughout the future of the console.
