Nintendo will release Switch, its new home game console that also lets you take your gaming on the go, on March 3, 2017 for $299.99, it said early Friday morning at a Tokyo press briefing.
The console, which is in the form of a tablet that can be docked to a television set, also includes a pair of detachable "JoyCon" controllers. Each of these includes motion sensors and force feedback. The tablet's screen will have capacitive touch functionality, Nintendo said. One of the JoyCon controllers will have a button dedicated to capturing screenshots to share on social media, with video capture coming in the future. It will also have an IR camera for sensing the motion of a player's hand, for example.
