The system will include the main console, Joy-Con (L)
and Joy-Con (R) controllers, a Joy-Con grip (to which
two Joy-Con are attached and used as one controller),
a set of Joy-Con wrist straps, a Nintendo Switch dock
(which holds the main console and connects it to a
TV), an HDMI cable and an AC adapter. Two stylish
versions of the system will be released: a version
with a set of gray Joy-Con, and a version with one
neon blue and one neon red Joy-Con. Both versions
will be the same price.
Nintendo Switch is a breakthrough home video game
system. It not only connects to a TV at home, but it
also instantly transforms into an on-the-go handheld
using its 6.2-inch screen. For the first time,
players can enjoy a full home-console experience
anytime, anywhere. The screen includes capacitive
multi-touch capabilities for compatible games.
Battery life can last for more than six hours, but
will vary depending on the software and usage
conditions. For example, The Legend of Zelda: Breath
of the Wild can be played for roughly three hours
on a single charge. While away from home, Nintendo
Switch can be charged by plugging the AC adapter
into the consolešs USB Type-C connector.
The versatile Joy-Con offer multiple surprising new
ways for players to have fun. Two Joy-Con can be used
independently in each hand, or together as one game
controller when attached to the Joy-Con grip. They
can also attach to the main console for use in
handheld mode, or be shared with friends to enjoy
two-player action in supported games. Each Joy-Con
has a full set of buttons and can act as a standalone
controller, and each includes an accelerometer and
gyro-sensor, making independent left and right motion
control possible.
Nintendo Switch also contains a number of built-in
features that make it more interactive. The left
Joy-Con has a Capture Button that players can press
to take instant screenshots of gameplay to share with
friends on social media. The right Joy-Con includes
an NFC touchpoint for interaction with amiibo figures,
as well as an IR Motion Camera that can detect the
distance, shape and motion of nearby objects in
specially designed games. For example, it can tell how
far away a playeršs hand is, and even if the hand is
forming a rock, paper or scissors shape. Both Joy-Con
include advanced HD Rumble, which can provide
compatible games with subtle vibrations that are much
more realistic than before. The effect is so detailed
that a player could, for example, feel the sensation
of individual ice cubes colliding inside a glass when
shaking a Joy-Con. With HD Rumble players can
experience a level of realism not possible through
sights and sounds alone.
Nintendo Switch makes it easy for players to stay
connected. Up to eight systems can be connected for
local wireless play. The player can place the system
upright anywhere by using the built-in stand, then
easily share Joy-Con for multiplayer fun away from the
TV. The system will support online Wi-Fi multiplayer
gaming. Nintendo also unveiled a new online
subscription service that will begin with a free trial
at launch. The service includes a smart-device
application available in Summer 2017 that will let
users invite friends to play online, set play
appointments and chat with one another as they play
compatible games. The fully featured paid service will
be available in the fall.
