Nintendo Switch is a revolutionary home console that not only connects to your home television, but also transforms into a portable gaming system thanks to its 6.2-inch screen with capacitive multi-touch screen. For the first time, players can enjoy a full home console experience anytime, anywhere. This is the DNA of Nintendo Switch, a fixed console that with a simple gesture can transform into a portable console, to bring the fun with you at any time and in any place, sharing it with friends and family. To do so, simply unhook the two Joy Cons from the handle and insert them into the screen inside the dock. Once this simple operation has been carried out, you will find yourself with a portable console capable of playing games designed for a home console without any loss of quality. Nintendo Switch offers a world of opportunities both in terms of gameplay and enjoyment of video games. There are 3 different ways in which you can enjoy the console. TV mode: the classic game mode in front of the TV. Tabletop mode: the Nintendo Switch screen can be placed wherever you want, while the Joy Cons are used individually detached from the console. Portable mode: by hooking the two Joy Cons to the console screen, Nintendo Switch transforms into a real portable console capable of running games from a fixed console. The versatile Joy Cons offer so many amazing new ways to play and have fun. You can use the two Joy Cons independently, holding one in each hand, or use them together as if they were a single controller, with the Joy Con grip. They can also be connected to the console to use it in portable mode, and by giving one to a friend two people can play supported games. Each Joy Con has a full set of buttons, so it can be considered as an independent controller. Furthermore, each Joy Con includes an accelerometer and a motion sensor, which allow the controllers to perform independent movements of each other. The versatility allowed by the Joy Con is preparing to revolutionize the world of video games by offering a variety of combinations of use never seen before! The left Joy Con features a capture button that players can press to capture gameplay images to share with friends on social networks. The right Joy Con includes an NFC sensor that allows you to interact with amiibo, as well as an IR camera that can detect the distance, shape and movements of nearby objects in specially created games. This allows the controller to, for example, measure how far away a player's hand is, and even distinguish between rock, paper and scissors. Both Joy Cons include an advanced HD rumble function, which can perform much more realistic vibrations than before in compatible games. The effect is so detailed that a player could, for example, feel the vibration of individual ice cubes colliding in a glass when shaking a Joy Con. The HD rumble guarantees a realism otherwise only achievable with sound and graphics. Just like Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch is also able to read amiibo, thanks to the NFC sensor included in the right Joy Con. Thanks to this functionality also on Nintendo Switch it will be possible to multiply the fun in games that support amiibo, introducing a series of specific features that vary depending on the game and the amiibo used. With Nintendo Switch, staying connected with other players is easier than ever: up to 8 consoles can connect wirelessly to each other locally. Players can place the console anywhere thanks to its integrated stand, and then share the Joy Cons to have fun together even away from the TV. The console supports multiplayer gaming via Wi-Fi and online via a paid service. The battery life of this new model has been increased: it now lasts approximately 4.5 - 9 hours. Battery life depends on games. For example, with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild the battery lasts around 5.5 hours. For the rest, the two Switch models have no difference. The new model is recognizable from the outside by the new packaging. Features: Nintendo's first home console capable of transforming into a portable console. 3 different game modes: TV mode, tabletop mode and portable mode. Nintendo Switch offers new gaming experiences, such as in 1-2 Switch where you can play while looking at your opponent instead of the game screen. The console includes a 6.2-inch capacitive multi-touch touchscreen. The innovative Joy Cons offer unprecedented versatility and can be used together thanks to the Joy Con handle, together but separately and even individually. The Joy Cons include a gyroscope and accelerometer, allowing you to control the game action with simple movements, just like on Wii. The Joy Cons also include HD Rumble, a new vibration function capable of producing more realistic vibrations than ever before. Finally, an IR camera is included in the Joy Cons, capable of detecting the distance, shape and movements of nearby objects in specific games. The console supports amiibo.
