If you’re not familiar with The Switch, it is a console that has a handheld and a set top console combined. You can play it on the TV or on the go, which is pretty awesome.

The switch is set to launch on March 3, 2017 (the cost will be $300 in the United States), and it will come with The Switch, the Switch dock, the joy-con (the removable part of the controller), the Joy-con grip, two Joy-con straps, the AC adaptor and an HDMI cord.

Check out how the Joy-con works:

The Switch dock is what allows you to hook the console up to the TV and play, but you can also remove the Switch from the dock at any time and continue playing on the go. Nintendo has stated that the switch off the dock can get up to six hours of battery life but will vary based on usage. The Switch can be charged in handheld mode, off of the dock as well.  

A new online service will also launch along with the switch, and while the service will be free for most of the year come Fall 2017, Nintendo will begin charging. The Switch looks promising and could become the future of mobile gaming. We’re looking forward to seeing what Nintendo has in store for us throughout rest of the year.
