Nintendo Switch

Nintendo has released its newest game console- Nintendo Switch. The Switch will come out on March 3 2017. It will be $300, but it is actually 2 systems in one. Its battery life if 2.5 to 6.5 hours.
One way to use it is to play it the traditional way. You get the 6.2 inch tablet out of its dock and use the tech as a regular game pad. You could play your games when you're traveling if you play this way.

The dock that you keep your tablet in, is connected to your TV. The Switch operates on WiFi. The idea with the Switch is that it is portable; you can take it anywhere. People can join up to 8 Switch consoles in a local network. The Switch actually comes with two consoles: a left Joy-Con and a right Joy-Con. You can get them in solid grey, or in red and black. You can play with one controller in each hand, or play it like you're holding a game pad. If you want to play with a friend, you can hand one of the Joy-Con controllers to them.

As I said, the Switch lasts 2.5 to 6.5 hours. If you play a game that is very intense like Legends of Zelda, it will wear the battery down faster. The Switch uses a USB C connector, so you cans plug it into any compatible cable and not have to plug it into its dock to charge it. This console is smaller then other consoles like x-Box and Play station. It only has 32 GB which is very small compared to the X-Box which gets 500 GB.

  1. So it's a combination of the DS series like the DS and 3ds and Nintendo's home console the Wii U.
