looking for more and more ways to take our games with us from the Primitive handhelds of the 1970s that could only play one game each to the 3DS which brought portable stereo 3D to the masses to the NVIDIA Shield that can stream full quality games wirelessly from a PC so as it becomes increasingly easy to cram high-end equipment into a small package I mean just think what's possible these days with a smartphone or a small form factor computer it might not be surprising that the next big thing in console gaming might be Nintendo's new Switch a living room console that's also being pitched as a fully portable console wait what okay so it's like this the switch took one of the main selling points of its commercially unsuccessful predecessor the Wii U and made it a lot more robust the Wii U featured a screen on the main controller that enabled the gamer to play without a TV uh maybe while they were in the bathroom or something but the caveat was that you had to stay within a certain range of the actual console which combined with a distinct lack of killer apps meant that this wasn't enough to lure people away from competition like Sony and Microsoft but not to be dissuaded by poor sales figures Nintendo making what some consider to be its last stand in the living room console arena is doubling down on this concept by making the switch's 720p screen part of the console itself which has a tabletes form factor and weighs slightly less than 400 G with the controllers attached to the side a little lighter than an iPad Air 2 when you're using the switch in standard living room mode or TV mode as Nintendo calls it the console connects and charges over USB typc to an included dock that features an HDMI port and three spare USB type A ports although the switch comes with a somewhat meager 32 GB of internal storage this is expandable through a Micro SD card slot good on you Nintendo so the switch will play games at either 1080P or 900 P at up to 60 frames per second while connected to a TV and this is cool in 60fps titles it can even maintain this frame rate when you take it on the road but if this wasn't enough of a paradigm shift for you where things get really interesting is when we start to look at the controller setup the switch actually comes with a pair of controllers so yes you get local multiplayer out of the box they're called joycon on and they bear a passing resemblance to Wii remotes but are quite a bit more versatile in addition to being smaller the console comes with a joycon grip that holds the joy-cons together to allow them to behave like a single controller with more traditional ergonomics but if you want to remove the switch from the dock and take it with you the joycons can also act as independent controllers for portable local multiplayer or they can slide directly onto the console itself making it look kind of like the Wii U controller except with the ability to play on toilets everywhere instead of just the ones in your home and Nintendo is pushing the multiplayer aspect very hard here not only emphasizing how folks can play with separate controllers on the same screen wherever they go but also that up to eight separate switch consoles can be linked together on a local network some games will even run on multiple switches in this manner with just one cartridge similar to Diablo spawn or download play on the 3DS joycons also support motion sensing but a bit differently than you might have experienced it on the Wii or the Wii U one of your two joycons has an IR sensor that can detect not only motion but distances and shapes and both joy-cons support what Nintendo is calling HD Rumble which is an advanced haptic engine that can simulate lots of different Sensations Nintendo demoed this by
