So Nintendo just posted a new video about the successor to the Wii U (aka the worst console ever), the Nintendo Switch, so I'm gonna tell some stuff about the trailer that was a bit interesting.

1. The Switch is a hybrid
This means that you can use it as a handheld on the go, and when you wanna use it on a TV, you just drop it in the included dock to have a better playing experience.

2. The controllers
The Joy-Cons can be separated from the console and can be used with or without a Joy-Con grip, and you can even use them individually for multi-player gaming.

3. The kickstand
The Switch has an included kickstand, which is pretty clutch for multi-player games without the TV, but the kickstand on the left holding the entire weight of the Switch kinda concerns me.

4. The games
So there will be a new Zelda, a Skyrim port, a MarioKart successor/port, NBA2K, a new 3D open world Mario, and a new Splatoon successor, and there will be more games, once the Switch launches soon.

5. Launch Date
So looks like it will be coming on March 2017, so just about 4 months until the Switch is launched

So that was all from the trailer, maybe Nintendo is gonna make a great seller from this hybrid concept and some cool games would be exclusive to the Switch only, so I hope Nintendo doesn't mess this one up, just like the Wii U.





Ok, now that's over, it's 2026. 10 years has passed since that trailer, and I can definitely tell, that they really hit it out of the park. So much in fact, that it is the second best-selling console.

And after all the stuff from the recent years, Nintendo still keeps it going, I still have my almost 5 year old Switch (Yes, almost 5 years old), and it still works like a charm.

Now here's to the next 10 years of the Nintendo Switch, because that was one of the best consoles and because it basically stopped Nintendo's death.
