Nintendo Switch release date news, updates: Console coming 2017; new game to be released with it?
The Nintendo Switch is anticipated to debut in March 2017. The upcoming new game console by Nintendo has caused a lot of buzz, and it seems that a new title will also be released alongside the Nintendo Switch's debut.
Game Rant reports that the Nintendo Switch will be released in March 2017, but the official report of its specs will only be released by January next year.
There have been mixed reactions to the announcement of the new gaming console, but the head of Microsoft's Xbox division — Phil Spencer — has expressed his support for the Nintendo Switch. Spencer posted in a tweet, "I'm always impressed with their ability to state a bold vision and build a product that delivers on that vision."
Another big name in the gaming industry — Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot — shared his excitement for the Nintendo Switch and he said that it's "unique capacities and design" may "redefine the way we play games."
Guillemot said in a Facebook post, "The Switch is accessible at its core and will give people the freedom and the pleasure to share more experiences and play anywhere at anytime. The Ubisoft teams developing games for the Switch are inspired by these new possibilities, and I'm really happy that we're able to continue doing great things with Nintendo. In addition to Just Dance 2017, I think there's at least one game that will definitely surprise you!"
Because of Guillemot's reference to a new game coming in 2017, several speculations have theorized that it will be launched alongside the Nintendo Switch's release. The alleged game could also be compatible with the Nintendo game console.
Ubisoft's "Ghost Recon Wildlands" is set to debut in March 2017 as well, and many believe it to be the game mentioned by Guillemot. However, this has yet to be confirmed by Nintendo and Ubisoft.
The Nintendo Switch is anticipated to still have certain capabilities and system requirements that will only be applied to certain games, which will be confirmed upon its specs release in January 2017.
