The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid console. It will allow its users to dock it to a station connected to their TV for traditional console usage or undock it for on-the-go play.

When undocked, Switch owners will be able to attach Joy-Con controllers on either side of a high-definition screen for portable gaming.

NVIDIA additionally created new gaming APIs to fully harness this performance.

NVIDIA also states they’ve optimized the full suite of hardware and software for gaming and mobile use cases.

Nintendo also released a sampling list of Nintendo Switch Partners. The list includes:

Nintendo Switch will release in March 2017. No official release date or price has yet been announced.
