Nintendo Switch

Nintendo recently announced that they will be releasing the Nintendo Switch OLED model, a new version of the Switch we all know and love. This new hardware revision will include a larger screen, an ethernet port, 64 gigabits of storage, and improved audio performance. The launch date for this new OLED Switch is set for October 8th which is also the release date for Metroid: Dread. Unfortunately, there is no evidence that there will be a Metroid-themed model, but that also doesn’t mean it isn’t a possibility...

Everyone remembers the scenario with the Nintendo Switch, in which it was nearly impossible to find the console at a fair price. Scalpers were at large, stock was coming in pretty slowly, and people were buying the things as fast as they appear on shelves. Thankfully the situation isn’t quite as bad anymore, though things aren’t perfect. That being said, if you still haven’t gotten your hands on a Nintendo Switch or you just want another one for whatever reason, there’s a new limited-edition Mario-themed Red and Blue Nintendo Switch that just came out for you to consider.

It may be a little hard to believe, but at this point, the Nintendo Switch launched almost four years ago. It’s been some time, and due to that, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser believes the Switch has just now, finally, entered the midpoint of its life cycle.

Update 11.0.0 for the Nintendo Switch is here, and with it come a great many notable additions that change some of the ways the Switch is used, or at least what it can offer as far as user comfort and convenience is concerned. The most notable of these changes is the addition of a Nintendo Switch Online hub on the main page of home, but that’s far from the only thing worth mentioning. Don’t worry, we’ll cover all of it here. Switch Online Hub Button The new “Nintendo Switch Online” hub button appears on the home screen right next to the News tab. Its purpose is to essentially put all of the services offered by Nintendo Switch Online into one place for easy access. This includes a pretty big list of things, including smartphone apps, online games, current tournaments, an archive of NES and SNES titles arranged by year, your save data in the cloud, and member offers. Needless to say, it’s mostly there to improve convenience for all players. Cloud Data Furthermore, Cloud data will now be automatically downloaded on multiple systems if they are all attached to the same account. While this isn’t a huge deal for anyone that is only playing with one Switch, for those who are perhaps using a Switch and a Switch Lite together, the ability to have their saves immediately shared between both devices will probably be a huge boon for them.

The Nintendo Switch is a console that was revolutionary at the time of its release, and even now there is still no other gaming platform that quite does the same thing. But no matter how great any gaming platform is, they all need some sort of device that allows you to control it. For the Nintendo Switch, that’s the Joy-Cons, the now-famous removable controllers it sports on both ends.

Of the great brand fights of the modern era, the Console Wars are one of the most well known and potentially divisive among gamers and game enthusiasts. Of the companies still in the race, Nintendo is one of the more interesting characters. Not as high powered as Sony or Microsoft, Nintendo stays competitive by appealing to family fun and portability. Granted their leadership is ancient and horribly out of touch with reality and their Western consumer base, but sales are sales and the company remains in the game. It might surprise some just how old Nintendo is, as the company not only predates video games, but even the twentieth century. Nintendo actually got its start as a playing card company. In 1889 the company started as a maker of Hanafuda cards, a popular card game in Japan, though the game is pretty obscure in the West. Nintendo actually still makes playing cards, both in Japan and the West. As is fitting such a traditional game, the company was formed in the ancient city of Kyoto. For the majority of its history, Nintendo made playing cards, which makes sense since video games didn’t exist yet. In 1959 the company got a good in with Western markets by obtaining the rights to sell Disney themed playing cards. Still, it wasn’t until 1963 that the company started making games along with playing cards.

The Classic Tickets can be wagered before a run in Classic Mode, and if you win, you’ll get extra rewards.
