It is almost more than one and a half year the Nintendo's NX project came into news. Since then speculations about the content and launch began. Finally, after a long wait, the company has introduced The Nintendo Switch as the NX project.

The information has come through a video post on the official website of the company. Looking at the market competition, unlike the Wii U, we expect the new console to have various extraordinary features.

The Switch

The launch of Switch has not come up as a huge surprise to the followers already knew it. The Nintendo switch is primarily a hybrid device with the gaming console as the tablet itself.

However, it has the feature of hooking up to a TV for home application. For usual portable play, it has two detachable controller modules on the side.  The controllers are set aside while on the go multiplayer game. The trailer suggests that it is low key and ambitious simultaneously.

The Probable Catchy Features

Name: Unlike the other Wii U line, the name itself is significant and self-explanatory.

Hardware: The hardware is comparatively complex. The two Switch systems along with four split controllers seem impractical. Moreover, the controllers and the tablet attachment will be worth a watch.

Display: One of the chief requirements of the players is an overall quality of the display and graphics. No news regarding this has been made. Some sources mention the 4k streaming.

Vents: The presence of real vents, which probably puts the Nvidia's custom Tegra chip, is unusual for a mobile device. It certainly would do wonders.

Multiplatform Titles: The teaser reveals the company's seriousness about the third-party publishers for the platform support along with multi-platform titles.

Release Date: Nintendo has made the confirmation on the launch of the system. It will roll out in March 2017. The company has scheduled a live presentation in Tokyo on 13 November.

Price: According to reports, the base price may be $299, though it is uncertain.

Expectations From The Switch

  • The users expect simplicity with the online capabilities and gameplay.
  • Another expectation is the conversation among the players to keep sync of the actions.
  • Since it is portable, the battery life needs to be good enough.
  • The gamers would look for a massive library and no the sorted one.

Limitation of the Switch

The reveal trailer limits the applicability for kids. According to the researchers, the complex working and system seem to fit the young adults as the target audience. Whereas, many analysts suggest swapping adults with the kids.

The Gist

Although the company witnessed criticism from users since the revelation of the new Switch console, the specifications remain a mystery. The company's post claims the new product to be unique and full of features. Nevertheless, Nintendo has to execute it pretty well to achieve the long-desired success.
