In an introductory video released today, Nintendo provided the first glimpse of its new home gaming system and revealed that it is called Nintendo Switch. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system also enables gamers to play the same title wherever, whenever and with whomever they choose. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system to enable unprecedented new video game play styles.

At home, Nintendo Switch rests in the Nintendo Switch Dock that connects the system to the TV and lets you play with family and friends in the comfort of your living room. By simply lifting Nintendo Switch from the dock, the system will instantly transition to portable mode, and the same great gaming experience that was being enjoyed at home now travels with you. The portability of Nintendo Switch is enhanced by its bright high-definition display. It brings the full home gaming system experience with you to the park, on an airplane, in a car, or to a friend’s apartment.

uh oh...

IGN just gave a "if I had to score it now review" for the switch and they gave it a 6.7 / 10

not what i was expecting.

Crap...

As a handheld, the Switch is a powerful piece of hardware with a gorgeous screen, but it's too large and power hungry to feel like you can really take it anywhere. As a console, it’s underpowered, unreliable, and lacking basic features and conveniences that all of its competitors offer.

I just been charged and should receive mine really soon.... still wondering if I should open it or not...

But then, I read the Zelda review:

The Verdict
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterclass in open-world design and a watershed game that reinvents a 30-year-old franchise.

They gave it a 10 / 10.


The game got 98% on 35 review.... damn!

@Drum18 I know. They even gave "1,2, Switch" a 6.8!!! a higher score then the console itself! and it is just a bunch of stupid mini games. hahaha
But with titles like Zelda getting a 10, I'm sure it will be worth the purchase.
