What's The Buzz About Nintendo Switch?

(RTTNews) - Nintendo will start shipping its new video game console Switch from 3 March for $300.

The USP of the device, which succeeds Wii U, is that it can switch from being a handheld gaming device to a video game console that can be plugged with a TV.

Nintendo along with game publishers have planned to release a mixture of new games and sequels. The games include, the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Another interesting game available is 1-2-Switch, which is a multiplayer motion game that does not require the players to look at a screen. According to Nintendo, the "face-to-face party game" requires players to look at an opponent in front of them, while they will play by hearing audio cues and haptic responses from the controller.

The Switch bundle includes the Nintendo Switch console and Nintendo Switch dock in black, and left and right Joy-Con controllers in a contrasting gray.

Nintendo president said Tatsumi Kimishima: "Nintendo Switch is a brand-new kind of home gaming system that offers a wide variety of play modes. We will introduce the world to new experiences made possible by the unique characteristics of the Nintendo Switch hardware and the Joy-Con."
