Nintendo is looking to switch up the way we play games again.
The Japanese video game company revealed its newest console, the Nintendo Switch, on Thursday with a three-minute video that showed a hybrid handheld and standard home device.
Gamers can play a game on a tablet or hook the tablet up to a TV dock, remove the detachable controllers “Joy-Con” and enjoy the experience on a bigger screen. The tablet includes a kickstand and the ability for multiple players to use the screen.
The device, which will be released in March, will succeed the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U, which were released in 2011 and 2012 respectively.
The company didn’t divulge more details about the price or other functions of the system, but it showcased some of the new titles that will be available on the Nintendo Switch, including “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” a new Super Mario Game, and a port of the 2011 game “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim,” which has never been released on a Nintendo system.
