Nintendo NX Revealed As Nintendo Switch
After months of relative silence, Nintendo has finally revealed the actual name of its upcoming platform, which has going by the codename of NX since its initial announcement in early 2015. The new system is called the Nintendo Switch.
The system features a controller that pulls in half and attaches to a portable screen to enable gaming on the go. This is in line with previous reports that suggested some sort of console/handheld hybrid system.
You can see the console's preview trailer below or check out our special edition of The Game Informer Show to learn what we think of Nintendo's next system.
Nintendo Switch is scheduled to release in March 2017.
