Other major releases due this year include Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Lego City Undercover, as well as original new titles Arms and SnipperClips. Nintendo says at least 60 more indie games will be available on the digital store this year. Plus, the online eShop will be available on launch day, with three more titles available, Fast RMX, Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment and Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.Switch is launching with the following 11 titles: As well as the app launcher, which shows all the games you’ve played and installed, there are a few more icons down the bottom: a picture viewer, for all the images you’ve captured a newsfeed, for Nintendo to send chatty updates to you the eShop, which we couldn’t use because it wasn’t turned on yet and system settings, controller settings, and an off button. Version one of the system software makes it extremely clear that this is a machine for playing games only. When you turn on a Switch, don’t expect a rich experience immediately. There is no game included, and the grip is not the more advanced “charging grip”, which lets you play and charge the Joy-Cons at the same time. The Switch comes with the console itself, the two Joycon controllers, two Joycon wrist straps (which attach to the sides of each controller, and also provide larger side buttons), the dock, the grip, a power adaptor and an HDMI cable. The Joy-Cons will last significantly longer, though, with an estimated 20-hour battery life. According to Nintendo, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can be played for around three hours before you’ll need to charge again. The Switch battery will last between 2.5 and 6.5 hours on a single charge.

The console features a built-in 6.2in display and two J-Con controllers, which attach either side. The Switch is launching on 3 March, at the price of £280 – though some retailers may offer it for slightly less, or in bundles with selected launch titles.
