Press Release
Detachable Controllers Reinvent Gaming

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In an introductory video released today, Nintendo provided the first glimpse of its new home gaming system and revealed that it is called Nintendo Switch. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system also enables gamers to play the same title wherever, whenever and with whomever they choose. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system to enable unprecedented new video game play styles.

At home, Nintendo Switch rests in the Nintendo Switch Dock that connects the system to the TV and lets you play with family and friends in the comfort of your living room. By simply lifting Nintendo Switch from the dock, the system will instantly transition to portable mode, and the same great gaming experience that was being enjoyed at home now travels with you. The portability of Nintendo Switch is enhanced by its bright high-definition display. It brings the full home gaming system experience with you to the park, on an airplane, in a car, or to a friend’s apartment.

Gaming springs into action by removing detachable Joy-Con controllers from either side of Nintendo Switch. One player can use a Joy-Con controller in each hand; two players can each take one; or multiple Joy-Con can be employed by numerous people for a variety of gameplay options. They can easily click back into place or be slipped into a Joy-Con Grip accessory, mirroring a more traditional controller. Or, if preferred, the gamer can select an optional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to use instead of the Joy-Con controllers. Furthermore, it is possible for numerous people to bring their Nintendo Switch systems together to enjoy local multiplayer face-to-face competition.

“Nintendo Switch allows gamers the freedom to play however they like,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, President and COO, Nintendo of America. “It gives game developers new abilities to bring their creative visions to life by opening up the concept of gaming without boundaries.”

Developers can design their games supporting a variety of play styles, which gives gamers the freedom to choose an experience that best suits them. Some of the publishers, developers and middleware partners announcing support for Nintendo Switch are as follows:

even though this game can be the potential of evolving the mobility of consoles and is much better that a ps4 comparing with its mobility and "switching":switch: ive got two questions to ask, how are we gonna enter CD's, the only thing i see from the trailers is the addition of switching:switch:, and is there gonna be 1-4 players, like the console can fit the two wii-like controllers, i was wondering how is the switch:switch: itself gonna fit 4 controllers?

It will use cartridges, and the Switch is capable of using Bluetooth so it should be able to connect up to 7 more controllers of any combination (Joycon halves, joycons in controller adaptor, Switch Pro controller, etc.). There also may be the possibility of USB controllers in docked mode

Just hold on to your questions until January 12. Nintendo will announce those things by then. :)

why wait when we can continue to speculate?

Because it often makes things worse IMO.

Majority of people never thought the Switch was going to be stronger than the PS4. I wish people stop repeating that like most people thought it was.

It's stronger than the Wii U, the fact Bethesda and Epic Games support it says something.

Damn, the screen's not gonna play nicely with my TV that's very bloods.
typo, i meant crisp Dx

hmm, sadly it will be 720p when you pull it out and want to game on the screen, but even that 720p looked so fine from what i have seen on youtube's hands on videos.

one thing that remains unclear is whether it will play at 60fp on the screen.
i hope it does.
