I don't know about you, but I was about five or six years old when I entered the world of video games; specifically, after playing the original Super Mario Bros., Kirby, Metroid and Duck Hunt games on the old NES my grandmother has bought for me and my cousins, I was given a brand new Nintendo 64 for Christmas that holiday season, courtesy of my parents. And my first game? Pokemon Stadium.
That's where it all began, and I've loved every minute since. Of gaming, that is; even the frustrating nights of Call of Duty, the annoying DLC-pack-buying for other big-name games, the whole lot of it. I've owned (and sometimes these weren't all exactly the best) that system, three Game Boys, an Xbox 360, a PSP, a PS3 and PS4... Needless to say, it has been a craze. But in good times and in bad, I've been a gamer, and it was all thanks to that classic N64 and a battle between Pikachu and Charmander.
Now, nearly eighteen years later, Nintendo has announced the Switch, and official information from the new site can be found at https://www.nintendo.com/switch.
(Also, for the info below, other specs, prices, and more are here: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2016/10/20/nintendo-...)
Essentially, it is both a handheld and stay-put console (for lack of better phrasing) sort of device, and it looks epic. Now there are some concerns with it; not just with the recent drop in the company's stock or the debate of whether the PS4/Xbox One will be a major competitor or if devices like iPads and other tablets will prove a threat too, but also with the general ups and downs that come with the hype of a new system and, subsequently, the ongoing improvements after its release that it will inevitably need.
All I know is, besides the new Zelda title, if Skyrim is available for it... (i.e. many companies have allegedly agreed to have some of their games made available for Nintendo, which has normally, like with the Wii, only had specific exclusive games/game series)
... I'm so there.
Do some Switch research for yourself too, if you please!
