A few days ago, Nintendo released a video showing their new gaming system and I can not be more excited.

From the Nintendo 64, to the DS, to the Wii U, they have always been great with coming out with new consoles and gaming platforms. Now, they are introducing the Nintendo Switch - a console that certainly lives up to the name.

From the looks of it, the Nintendo Switch is a console and handheld system in which you can switch between the two.

In the picture above, you can see the set up for when you want to use it as just a console, and play it on your television. You can place the device into the Nintendo Switch Dock and it will go onto the big screen. From there, you can use the controller to play whatever the game may be.

The handheld side of the system seems like a mix between the Nintendo DS and the Wii U, which is a great way to game while on the go. You can switch by taking off the controls, called the Joy-Con, from the Joy-Con Grip and sliding them onto each side of the console, making it portable.

Not only that, but the Joy-Con controllers can be detached and connect wirelessly to the device, which is great for multiplayer games such as Mario Kart. The device also comes with a stand, which is useful when it comes down to those intense games with friends.

This device is amazing and definitely one to be loved in 2017. It gives the users a chance to game however they please, whether that's in a car, in the comfort of their home, or practically anywhere else. There are several ways to use this device, which is unlike anything before. It brings a new and refreshing twist to gaming.

The Nintendo Switch is to be released worldwide March 2017, and there will be more detail and information along the way.
