Code name NX revealed: Nintendo Switch

Nintendo has all eyes and ears in anticipation of its new console, the Nintendo NX. It is said to be officially released in March 2017. But an info leak on reddit have given gamers and fans alike something to be more excited about. it's not unlikely, though, that one of the most favorite console brands will be more tight lipped about divulging any further information.

So far, the leak on reddit holds information on details such as Marketing, Bundles, Packaging, along with Features and Specs. It's also not unlikely that Nintendo itself would share more vivid details about the console later this year.

It has also been verified that the source of information has the credibility and access to content. The source has added the disclaimer that details will still be subject to change as the developers see fit. Let's not be too optimistic as much can still change from this point onwards.

The base price for the unit is said to be at 299.9$ with a possible bundle option of 399.99$. But there is still no reliable information on what the bundle may or may not contain). Phrases such as "Interact with your game on the go" seen on posters. But it's not unusual to speculate that the unit would probably be a handheld model.

Another eye catching detail regarding the console is a quote from Lewis Painter's article on the NX states the model could be released at the same time as the upcoming "The Legend of Zelda" for Wii U. A line in the article confirms, "Nintendo has confirmed, as of April 2016, that The Legend of Zelda will launch on Wii U and the NX simultaneously."

Posters also suggest the console carries a "Mario" title (no surprises there) while there will be four others that still remain a mystery. With all this in mind it's not unlikely to say that once again Nintendo has successfully charmed the young and the young at heart.

First news regarding the console came out in March 2015 with Nintendo's late Chief Executive Santoru Iwata stating, "As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development codename 'NX'."
