This is the Nintendo Switch
The console is full of possibilities. As we see in the trailer, the console will have a base that can connect to our TV for playing video games as we have done all my life. The base will within a screen that is the console itself, which can unhinge when we want to play directly from it as a portable console.
This will be done thanks to Joy-Con command. When we are in “console mode” it is not different from conventional controls, but we can divide it into two pieces premolars on both sides of the screen to play from anywhere. In addition to this command, the video also shows another conventional they have called Switch Pro Controller.
The thing is not there, because in some games each of the two halves of the command can operate independently, so that we can separate them from the screen to play two people with a mini monitor. For stability, the screen will have a tab with which support the console on flat surfaces.
In the promotional video Nintendo has not given any hardware specification, but in its press release tells us that the laptop screen is HD for optimal experience. The video also confirms another of the rumors that we had time listening to the console used cartridges, much like those of the Nintendo DS family, which will offer certain advantages in terms of safety and durability.
