It’s here! Nintendo is in the midst of revealing every detail you need to decide whether you’re going to drop the dough on its new Nintendo Switch console. Part tablet, part handheld, part console: but will it be all fun?
Nintendo first announced the Switch back in October with just a first taste of the new concept it’s going for. Now we’re getting the real details and as we move from the big announce to our hands-on events in London and New York over the coming 24 hours, we’ll collect all our coverage right here.
The Switch presentation got right down to business. Pure announcements, no fluff. Just a weird ‘click’ schtick the executives used to hand over to each other to continue the presentation.
Here’s everything we’ve learned so far.
The Nintendo Switch. March 3. $299.
It is coming March 3, 2017, priced at $299.99.
Here’s all the specific Nintendo Switch price details and system specs that will get you up to speed.
There will also be a Nintendo Switch online service that will be a paid service. It will launch as a trial with pricing to be announced later in 2017.
For fans of imports of Japanese exclusives, it was announced the new system will have no region locking — a big break from tradition for Nintendo.
