REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 20, 2016 – In an introductory video released today (http://www.nintendo.com/switch), 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.

What exactly is the NX? One tomorrow’s preview trailer arrives, we should have a much better idea. But for now, there is still plenty of uncertainty surrounding the system.

Interestingly, Nintendo is labeling NX as a “home gaming system”. That comes directly from the company’s North American home page here.

Stay tuned.

Former Destructoid UK editor-in-chief (now of Kotaku UK, Polygon) Laura Kate Dale tweeted out some speculation about NX news tomorrow before Nintendo confirmed the platform’s preview trailer. Now she’s come forward with some apparent information about what we can expect.

This is part-rumor and part-spoiler potentially, so we’ve posted the details after the break.

It’s been a (very) long time coming, but we’ll finally be hearing something about NX tomorrow straight from Nintendo. The big N is releasing a trailer at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET tomorrow morning.

The use of the term “trailer” here should imply that this won’t be anything too long like a Nintendo Direct, but now we know exactly what to expect. Nintendo said on its Japanese Twitter account that the video will run for three minutes.
