resolution , though it ’ ll output full HD when plugged into the dock . The system comes with 32GB of onboard memory , expandable via SDXC cards , and the battery will power if for 3-6 hours depending on what game you ’ re playing .
The Joy-Con ’ s attached to the Joy-Con Grip and the Switch Dock
Nintendo is back with a brand new console this month ; the shape-shifting Nintendo Switch . Designed as a console that can be used at home – by sliding it into the included dock – or played on-the-go thanks to its integrated 6 ” screen , it ’ s poised to occupy a unique position in the gaming landscape .
The console takes the form of a tablet with detachable ‘ Joy-Con ’ controllers on either side . These can be used in situ to play games on the screen , can be used independently as modern Wii Remotes or individual control pads for two-player games , or can be attached to a ‘ Joy-Con Grip ’ which turns them into something resembling a standard controller . The Joy-Con ’ s have built-in batteries , motion sensors , and an advanced vibration feature Nintendo calls ‘ HD rumble ’ which we ’ re sure has lots of interesting uses .
Speaking of games , there ’ s a fair selection on the way :
Launch Day
Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild (£ 59.99 ) See this month ’ s roundup , page ( xx )
1-2 Switch (£ 39.99 ) A compilation of 28 humorous minigames for multiple players
Super Bomberman R (£ 49.99 ) Strange looking Bomberman sequel with clunky gameplay .
Nintendo Switch in it ’ s portable mode .
The Switch is powered by a custom Nvidia Tegra processor – the exact specs are still a mystery , but you can expect visuals broadly on par with the Xbox One and PS4 . The built-in screen runs at 1280 x 720
