The Nintendo Switch was recently unveiled, garnering mixed reactions among gamers and investors. According to Nintendo, there are more details about the Nintendo Switch to reveal early in 2017.
Wall Street Journal reported that company's stock value actually went down by 6.5 percent, one day after the Nintendo Switch was revealed. The drop was even bigger compared to the 5 percent decrease that Nintendo went through after announcing the Wii U in 2011.
It generally means that some investors are still doubting whether the Nintendo Switch would appeal to a wide audience. Other analysts stated that it is too early to determine whether the console would be a huge success or flop.
The Telegraph stated that some were impressed with the Nintendo Switch's concept, which is a hybrid between a home and handheld console. The device can be linked to a television for home play or to the tablet portion for mobile gaming.
The Nintendo Switch also features the modular controller that can split into two mini-controllers for multiplayer gaming. The company is apparently creating a hybrid console that will stand independently from the Wii and Wii U. Other specifics like touchscreen and VR capability will be answered in the near future.
Potential Nintendo Switch players are also asking about the price, longevity on mobile mode, and available titles, among others. The Nintendo Switch reportedly features NvidiaTegra technology, which will contend with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
In the meantime, the company's objective is to introduce its two-in-one gaming approach. Many gamers have responded well to the concept at present, so Nintendo will have to come up with great specs to maintain their interest until the official Nintendo Switch launch date.
Nintendo will have an advantage by featuring some of its best titles at launch, such as "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Super Mario." It can also include some of the most popular games like "NBA 2K17" and the remastered "Skyrim."
The reveal trailer showcased some of the possible titles that will launch with the Nintendo Switch, particularly catering to young adults. More updates and details on the Nintendo Switch are expected soon.
