Nintendo Switch features:
Nintendo has always been a company willing to do its own thing. While Sony and Microsoft have fought over having the more powerful machines, Nintendo has focused its attention on interesting controllers and 3D displays.
The Switch looks like a very unique console indeed. it has a 32-bit quad core CPU capable of handling 2GHz and a Tegra X1 GPU. The CPU news is positive, but the GPU is slightly underwhelming.
The Switch will have several modes of play including traditional home console TV Mode, Tabletop Mode where the console stands up on its kickstand and Handheld Mode, where multiple people can play simultaneously.
The Switch has two removable 'Joy-Con' controller sections which attach at either end of the Switch tablet. In this form it really does look like a new and improved Game pad. Once in the dock, you move them to the 'Joy-Con grip' to form a controller in order to play games as per usual.
The Joy-Cons are packed with tech and features, and can be used independently or together. Each includes an accelerometer and gyroscope motion sensor, along with what Nintendo is calling 'HD rumble', which supposedly offers more subtle and realistic vibrations. The example Nintendo gave was being able to feel the sensation of individual ice cubes rattling around a glass.
Nintendo says the Switch has a touchscreen, Wi-Fi, and can connect up to eight other Switch systems for a big local multiplayer experience.
More about Nintendo switch:
Unfortunately the console will not support streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video at launch. Nor will it have a browser for you to access these services in another way. Nintendo has justified the move by saying that its focus is on making a gaming system first and foremost.
Neither the presentation nor the trailer made mention of a major rumor that was doing the rounds about the console supporting VR after the company admitted it was researching VR technology, according to someone who was present.
Nintendo has confirmed that you won't be able to use the tablet to create a dual-screen gaming experience similar to the Game pad with the Wii U. Instead, the Switch will be an completely single-screen experience "on whatever screen you might choose.
The trailer also confirmed the fact that the console will feature games sold on a cartridge rather than a disc.
