New Nintendo Switch revealed with Zelda, Mario, Splatoon and… Skyrim
Nintendo has finally unveiled their new console, and it’s one that’s both a portable and can plug into your TV.
The wait has finally come to an end, and Nintendo has revealed their next new console – which will replace both the Wii U and the 3DS.
As widely rumoured it’s a hybrid between a home and portable console, and can be carried around to be used anywhere or plugged into your TV for a bigger picture.
The console has two detachable controllers on either side of its screen, so someone else can join in and play with you no matter where you are.
In terms of games Nintendo showed led with the already announced The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, as well brief glimpses at other new games.
Nintendo has offered no information other than what you can see for yourself in the trailer, but one of the games is clearly the remastered Skyrim: Special Edition. Which isn’t as strange as it sounds as Bethesda were already hinting to us of a deal with Nintendo back in August.
Also shown was a new Mario Kart game, or perhaps an updated version of Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U. But certainly King Boo was not a playable character in the last game.
The trailer also shows some kind of basketball game, we’re going to guess NBA 2K17, and Splatoon. Although again, it’s hard to make out whether it’s a remastered version of the Wii U game or a proper sequel.
Most excitingly of all is what appears to be a brand new 3D Super Mario game, presumably a spiritual successor to Super Mario 64 and the Super Mario Galaxy games.
Now that we know the basics the next question is when we’ll find out more. Which is a difficult question to answer, as the NX is out next March – so Nintendo still has a lot of information to reveal.
And that includes the exact release date and how much it’ll cost…
