This Friday, Nintendo will have a grand event in New York to deliver details and technical specifications on the Switch, your new gaming console, which was revealed in October last year.
the Switch comes on to replace formally the Wii U, a device that had a modest performance in the market, to say the least: since its launch in 2012, this console has sold about 14 million units, which doesn’t sound so bad until you compare it with its competitors, as the PlayStation 4, which arrived at this figure in a year.
In simple words, the Switch works as a home console when connected to a tv via a dock (a base), but also as a portable device once it is separated from it. With this hybrid concept, the player can start a game on the tv screen and continuing it on the street with only separate the console from its base.
The console is the fruit of the union of the divisions of development for consoles, mobile and static, that occurred in the first instance the Wii U and now seek to capitalize on the learnings and the experience of a console, it seems, is not finished to convince users and studies of video games.
The machine has a high-definition screen that you can add two controls side, so-called Joy-With, and so can function as a portable console. The screen Switch also can be used as a separate interface, since the Joy-With can be used as remote controls.
Nintendo played a hand risky in this game, as in last will try to position themselves in two highly competitive markets: the mobile market (in which cell phones and tablets dominate the landscape, of course), and the console static (with names such as PlayStation and Xbox, offering a vast amount of titles).
The announcement in October was something bare-bones, if you will. It was clear the basic mode of operation of the Switch, but not said much about pricing, release dates and, of course, on technical specifications. This last point is essential, not only so that Nintendo can offer on their new product, but because your offer should be met with a serious resistance from its competitors and, in general, the conditions of the market.
Things such as the possibility of producing graphics in 4K or have better multiplayer options on line are issues that have been installed as a sort of standards in the market.
As with so many other releases in technology, the announcement of the Switch is surrounded by a multitude of rumors and leaks. Here, we summarize the most important. By the way, Friday’s event will be broadcast in streaming via YouTube and the account of Twitch Nintendo. Will begin at 9:30.m.
technical Specifications
The console could have two versions, one with 32GB of storage and another with a little more: some reports speak of 64GB and the other of 128GB. Possibly, the Switch will be able to expand your storage capacity using Micro SD cards. It should be noted here that the games come in cartridges, so the need for a large hard disk is less in this device.
Some rumors claim that the screen, in the mobile mode, would be equipped with multitouch technology, this is that you can read several interactions simultaneously, which expands the range of options and game modes.
This screen would have a resolution of 720 p (mobile mode) and in console mode it would be able to get to 1080, as a minimum. Some reports state that it reached 4K.
In terms of battery, the leakage and the analysis they offer all sorts of options as to offer some credibility. This is one of the most important points, since with a duration of less than four hours, the mobile mode may not be too attractive for users and this, practically, kills 50% of the overall appeal of the entire console.
Price
it Is expected that Switch cost no less than US$ 250. Several analysts have questioned the price to indicate that Nintendo intends to offer each console at the price that it costs to make it, at least. And it is hard to think that such a device costing less than Us$ 250. Several experts ensure that the apparatus will be more in the range between US$ 300 and US$ 350.
Games
it Is known that at least one new title of Zelda will be available to Switch (Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild). In the video revealed in October is also seen Super Mario Bros, and a certain version of Mario Kart. Some analysts point out that Skyrim would also Switch.
Release
The reports say a launch for the first half of the year, even for the first four months. Some leaks have pointed to march 17 as the official date of introduction of Switch.
