    Nintendo has teased several details about its upcoming Switch hybrid console. The Switch will make its global debut on March 3, and will be available for $299. In terms of the hardware itself, the Switch will feature a 6.2-inch 720p display along with 32GB storage and microSD slot, and will charge over USB-C. The Switch also comes with two Joy-Con controllers that live on each side of the console.

    The Switch will see the release of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the latest instalment in the RPG franchise. The game will be a launch title for the console, and will be available in time for its debut.

    When docked to a TV or monitor via HDMI, the Switch will be able to render games at 1080p. In portable mode, games will be limited to 720p. Nintendo is touting three hours’ worth of usage from the onboard battery in games like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, stating that battery life could be as high as six hours for certain titles.

    Nintendo is also touting a title called 1-2 Switch, which aims to showcase the capabilities of the controllers. Another key feature of the Switch is that the console will be the first to offer Nintendo’s paid online service. Not much is known about what it will offer, but it will be free initially. According to Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima:

    Users will be able to try out Nintendo Switch online services for free during a trial period after launch. Then it will become a paid service beginning in the fall of 2017.

Finally, for those that won’t be able to purchase the Switch in their home country, Nintendo has announced that the console will be region-free. You can buy games from any country and play it on the Switch without worrying about regional restrictions.
