Nintendo Switch Presentation / January 13, 2017 by Kyle Johnstone

With the recent news and presentation of the Nintendo Switch, I thought I'd compile some of my favorite announcements so far.

I have to admit, I'm most excited for Splatoon 2!

They've got to be developing a ported/upgraded Smash Bros. after seeing this right?! Bring over Pokémon too while you're at it!

1 2 Switch and Arms both look interesting, I'm assuming 1 2 Switch will be a pack in.

I also have interest in Sonic Mania and Super Bomberman R, I'm a sucker for nostalgia focused games. Here's one more link to the full Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017, if you missed it. Make sure to check out Nintendo's YouTube Channel, there's lots more videos and trailers to see, there's good info in the Treehouse Live upload and the video on parental controls.

Nintendo Switch / October 20, 2016 by Kyle Johnstone

We finally got our first look at Nintendo's next console! Referred to as or code named NX, Nintendo formally announces the Nintendo Switch Console.

The general rumors look to be true, the Switch seams to be a hybrid console or a mobile console. The 3 minute teaser embraces multiple play styles wherever you want. First focusing on traditional big screen home console play, pausing the game and playing there after anywhere you want on the mobile screen. They showed multiplayer between multiple Switch units or mobile screen sharing with left and right "Joy-Con" controllers. Nintendo looks to be carrying on the legacy of cartridges or "GameCards". The GameCards look very similar in size to a 3DS or DS card, so it's probably save to assume it's backwards compatible with at least 3DS games. Lastly Nintendo showed off it's 3rd party support, the Switch Dock, the Joy-Con Grip, the Switch Pro Controller, and a convenient little kickstand for table top non tv play.

I can't wait for more news on it, no price yet, but Nintendo is still aiming for a March 2017 release! For Switch images and other Nintendo new, click here.
