The Nintendo Switch is scheduled to launch in March 2017, but gamers are already talking about its specifications and functions. There are reports that the Nintendo Switch may have different features for home and mobile use, respectively.
Nintendo Switch: Features for Home and Mobile Use
QZ reported that Jimmy Fallon was provided with more details about the Nintendo Switch during "The Tonight Show." According to the company, the Nintendo Switch is their first home console since the Wii U in 2012. The Nintendo Switch can be played at home, but also functions as a handheld console.
The system features a removable tablet that can be separated from a docking station. Also, the controls on the side of the tablet can be removed and placed together. These functions allow gamers to play the Nintendo Switch like a home console, regardless of their location.
The processing power of the Nintendo Switch is fully kept inside the tablet, which means that performance should be the same whether it is played at home or on the go. There are rumors that the Nintendo Switch's processor can be overclocked to provide users with more power, while placed into the docking station.
The system also has an integrated fan that will keep the overclocked processor cool. Nintendo has yet to confirm that overclocking option in the Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo Switch: What Game Developers Think
GamingBolt stated that, in the meantime, many game developers think that the Nintendo Switch is a promising product, since it allows people to play top games anywhere. Nick Pettit of Zoxide Games said that the Nintendo Switch's approach is interesting and enables many unique opportunities for developers.
Developers also believe that the Nintendo Switch will carve its own place in the gaming industry. Some may already be developing game titles to suit the upcoming hybrid console.
The Nintendo Switch is expected to cater to a whole new crowd aside from those targeted by the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. More updates and details are expected soon.
