The console is expected to be launched on March 3, 2017, and will have a variety of games that will also be released along with it. Nintendo has also promised to release more games later. Nintendo in its official post has said that there are "over 80 titles that are currently in development for the Nintendo Switch system from both Nintendo and our third-party partners."

Nintendo Switch is a hybrid console that can be connected to TV. A screen attached to the console can work like a personal tablet with LCD touchscreen. It also features two Joy-Con controllers that are detachable.

Users can either attach the controllers to the tablet and play them in the gamepad mode or canuse them individually, similar to the Wii Remote. It can also be synced to a Xbox-style Pro Controller, which can be bought separately.

Nintendo Switch is priced at $299. It is a successor to the Wii U and 3DS.

Powered by Nvidia Tegra, it has a 32GB internal flash memory and up to 2TB of microSDXC removable storage. It sports a 6.2-inch HD (1280x720p) LCD display having 237 ppi (pixels per inch).
