Under gårdagen dök det upp mängder av detaljer rörande Nintendos kommande konsol Switch och även om det är svårt att tyda eller sätta vissa av punkterna i något slags sammanhang - står det klart att Nintendo har realiserat gott om unika idéer i och med denna maskin. Man har tydligen sökt och fått patent för följande detaljer:
• Shoulder buttons on the connection portion of the joycons
• IR camera at the bottom of the right joycon
• Fan inside the tablet and doc
• Downclock when in portable mode
• Possible to connect to a wired internet connection when docked
• 4 joycons usable on one Switch
• Different types of joycons (with D-pad, etc.)
• Possibly usable in a VR HMD
• Joycon grip can charge joycons
• Joycon grip LED displays can display both player number and battery remaining
• Joycon motion controls and vibration confirmed
Detachable Controllers Reinvent Gaming
In an introductory video released today Nintendo provided the first glimpse of its new home gaming system and revealed that it is called Nintendo Switch. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system also enables gamers to play the same title wherever, whenever and with whomever they choose. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system to enable unprecedented new video game play styles.
At home, Nintendo Switch rests in the Nintendo Switch Dock that connects the system to the TV and lets you play with family and friends in the comfort of your living room. By simply lifting Nintendo Switch from the dock, the system will instantly transition to portable mode, and the same great gaming experience that was being enjoyed at home now travels with you. The portability of Nintendo Switch is enhanced by its bright high-definition display. It brings the full home gaming system experience with you to the park, on an airplane, in a car, or to a friend's apartment.
Gaming springs into action by removing detachable Joy-Con controllers from either side of Nintendo Switch. One player can use a Joy-Con controller in each hand; two players can each take one; or multiple Joy-Con can be employed by numerous people for a variety of gameplay options. They can easily click back into place or be slipped into a Joy-Con Grip accessory, mirroring a more traditional controller. Or, if preferred, the gamer can select an optional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to use instead of the Joy-Con controllers. Furthermore, it is possible for numerous people to bring their Nintendo Switch systems together to enjoy local multiplayer face-to-face competition.
"Nintendo Switch allows gamers the freedom to play however they like," said Reggie Fils-Aime, President and COO, Nintendo of America. "It gives game developers new abilities to bring their creative visions to life by opening up the concept of gaming without boundaries."
