Today Nintendo of America tweeted news that their upcoming NX console is now officially called the Nintendo Switch which arrives in March 2017 with a preview trailer video below! :closedeyesmile:

To quote from the video's caption: Introducing 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.

And for Sony PlayStation fans, here's the PS Switch version: :closedeyetongue:
Thanks to @ArthurBishop for sharing the Nintendo Switch video link in the Shoutbox!
