Nintendo Switch is a Single Screen Console

4.4
Today’s small tidbit pertains to the game screen, which unlike the Wii U’s gamepad, cannot be used as a second game screen.

“Nintendo Switch is dedicated to deliver a single-screen experience, on whatever screen you might choose,” a Nintendo representative told Polygon.

It will, as previously shown in the reveal video and through information handed out by Nintendo earlier this week, allow users to take the system on-the-go similar to a tablet.

Nintendo has said it will offer up more information on Switch closer to release, and said information isn’t expected until sometime in early 2017.

The company has refused to discuss the specs, region locking, whether or not the system supports touch screen, or other questions sent its way. It has confirmed Switch will support amiibo, that there are quite a few third-parties supporting the system, and it has Nvidia Tegra technologyinside.

It is also a home gaming system first and not meant to take the place of 3DS, physical versions of Wii U and 3DS games are not compatible, and the company has yet to confirm whether its mobile game titles will be playable on the system.

So, at present, everything above is what’s known and not know about Switch at present. To my knowledge as of press time at any rate.

Nintendo Switch will be released in March 2017.

This console looks pretty damn cool, though wouldn't purchase a nintendo device.

NickPosted:

This is all we know of it? It's coming out so soon though

LostPosted:

I'm kinda surprised more details haven't been released yet if it's due for release early next year.

HaloPosted:

I never got a chance to experience the Wii U and probably won't but since they've had a lot of success on what they were doing before with the Wii they should have went back to it.

It certainly was not a bad concept though.

cashftw The idea isn't bad, maybe if it was something from Microsoft I'd be more interested.


You sound like a 12 year old kid. You must have not experience nintendo gaming as a kid.

On the other note, I might consider picking this console up in the sometime future probably when price cuts. But Scorpio first of course

GaryPosted:

As it should be. The dual screen on the wiiU was done poorly

XboxPosted:

Still think I'm going to get the Scorpio as my next gaming console.

TomPosted:

its an alright idea they have here but just looking at the design of the controller isnt as good imo.
