TV Console meets Handheld. Maximum Gaming Fun. Anywhere. Anytime.
Nintendo Switch is an entirely new type of game console. It serves both as a game console that connects to TV sets at home, and transforms in a state-of-the-art handheld featuring a 6.2" screen. Which allows gamers to experience the entire fun of a TV game anywhere, and at any time.
The console comes with a left- and right-hand Joy-Con, a Joy Con grip that allows merging both Joy-Cons in a single controller, a set of Joy-Con wrist straps, a dock station that holds the console when connected to a TV set, a HDMI cable and a mains supply unit.
A TV Console for Stay or Go
Ever given up on a game because you didn’t have enough time to play?
Nintendo Switch transforms to suit your situation, so you can play the games you want, no matter how busy life may be.
It’s a new era where you don’t have to adjust your lifestyle to play games – instead, your console adjusts to fit around your lifestyle.
The playing modes give you a lot of options: play whenever, wherever and with whomever you want.
Three game modes
TV mode: in front of the television in the large group. Connecting the console to a TV set lets everyone join in - young and old. Adds extra fun to playing with friends and family.
Tabletop Mode: Share the screen, share the fun. If you don’t have access to a TV, prop up the stand attached to the console and hand a Joy-Con to a friend to play co-operative or competitive games right on the console screen.
Handheld Mode: Large screen on the go. Enjoy the same gameplay experience as on a TV screen. Play engaging games you’ve never thought you can play on the go anytime, anywhere.
Local Multiplayer Mode
Players can sync together up to eight Nintendo Switch consoles to play competitive and co-operative multiplayer games.
Online Multiplayer Mode
If you sign up to the online subscription service for Nintendo Switch, you can play with friends far away and players around the world. Subscribers can also sync up a dedicated smart device app to set play appointments, meet up in online lobbies to play and voice chat while playing.
