Nintendo Switch Uses Cartridge-Based Games
During today's Nintendo Switch reveal, the preview trailer showed a quick look at players inserting games into the portable component of the system. The glimpse shown demonstrates that Nintendo's new system relies on small cartridges like the 3DS rather than discs like the Wii U.
We don't know much else about the system, but we do know the third-parties confirmed to develop for the Switch, as well as some of the games shown. We also have a decent idea of how Nintendo Switch works.
Nintendo Switch releases in March 2017.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
