After over a year since its announcement, Nintendo has finally revealed the NX under its final name, the Nintendo Switch. The reveal trailer, which was released on the morning of October 20, confirmed several rumors about the system.

First of all, the Switch is a hybrid of a home console and a handheld system. The unit itself is about the size of a small tablet with a LCD screen in the middle, with two controllers known as Joy-Cons on the sides. Each Joy-Con has an analog stick, four face buttons, and at least one shoulder button. When playing on the go, you can either attach the Joy-Cons to the sides of the unit or separate them with one controller in each hand while the screen sits on a table using a kick stand. The Switch also comes with a dock that the system can be set in to play games on a TV. In this case, the Joy-Cons are separated from the system and placed in the Joy-Con Grip, a shell that allows the player to use the Joy-Cons like a standard controller. Even so, players also have the option to use a standard controller called the Switch Pro Controller, which functions the same way, but without having to mess with the Joy-Cons.

Switching between TV and handheld modes is seamless. As soon as the Switch is removed from the dock, the display immediately moves from the TV to the Switch screen. Similarly,  if the player is playing in handheld mode, they can place the Switch back in the dock as soon as they get home and immediately continue playing on the TV. This can be done without turning the system off, so a player can begin a game on the TV, then continue playing where they left off on the go.

In addition, split-screen multiplayer is still possible on a single Switch unit, even in handheld mode. The trailer showed this by showing two people playing “Mario Kart” on one Switch in portable mode, with each player using one Joy-Con. Additional players may join in using additional an additional system as shown with “NBA 2K17.” Two players played on each system running the game simultaneously.

The trailer showed several games on the system. Over about 3 minutes, Nintendo showed “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” a “Mario Kart” game that looked similar to “Mario Kart 8,” “Splatoon,” and a new 3D Mario platformer. In addition, two major third-party titles were shown in the trailer. In addition to the aforementioned “NBA 2K17,” the trailer also showed a man playing “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” on the Switch. This is a big deal as Bethesda, the game’s publisher, has never released a game on a Nintendo system.

In fact, Nintendo also revealed many third-party developers and publishers supporting the system, such as Activision, Sega, Namco Bandai, Atlus, Electronic Arts, Platinum Games, Konami, Level-5, Ubisoft and Square Enix. While this is impressive, the Wii U had a lot of early third-party support, but it quickly faded away. Unless the Switch is compelling enough to support long-term, these companies will jump ship pretty quickly.

In addition to the aforementioned games, several games have already been confirmed for the Switch. These games include “Dragon Quest X,””Dragon Quest XI,” the “Sonic the Hedgehog” game set to be released Holiday 2017 and “Steamworld Heist.” There are also rumors that Blizzard will release “Hearthstone” on Switch as well.

The Switch has been confirmed to use cartridges for games, similar to the ones on the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS. The system will also be compatible with amiibo. Furthermore, the system uses technology by NVIDIA, but the exact specifications have not been revealed. In fact, there are still a lot of lingering questions such as how long the battery will last, what games will be available at launch, whether or not the screen is a touch screen, whether or not the Joy-Cons will have motion controls and how much the system will cost. These questions and more will be answered between now and the Switch’s launch in March 2017.
