20/10/2016

Nintendo has just announced its new console, the Nintendo Switch that offers an at home mode to play on a big TV, but also can be unholstered from its dock to play out on the road.

It includes a new controller that clips onto the side of the tablet screen and then combines together to create a more standard control format for use at home.

The new console showed off games including Mario, Splatoon and Zelda in the trailer and offers both 2 player and 4 player play which will be a great way for families to enjoy new Nintendo games together.
