Here’s the first trailer of Nintendo’s Switch console

It’s been nearly four years since Nintendo released the Wii U, and we’re just now seeing the successor. The new Nintendo Switch is still a “home gaming system,” despite advertising itself as a console you can take with you wherever you go.
That’s the main selling point of the Switch: With all the processing done within its portable frame, you can either connect it to a television to play in your living room together with a full-sized controller, or use separate controls you can attach on the sides for a complete mobile gaming experience.
It sounds complicated on paper, but the promotional trailer helps make sense of its abilities:
As you can see, the Nintendo Switch Dock is what holds everything together in front of a TV. By detaching the NVIDIA-powered central unit, you can continue playing seamlessly without any needless transitions.
The Joy-Con controller is what you find on the sides. When not attached, a single player can use one in each hand, two players can share a pair, or they can be slid into a Joy-Con Grip accessory to be used like a traditional controller.

There’s also an optional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for those who want something more PlayStation- or Xbox-like. A kickstand is available behind the main console, so your hands are free to use any of the controllers the entire time if needed.
The list of games is currently a mystery, but the trailer shows off Zelda, Mario, and NBA games, to name a few. It’s cool, though, that Nintendo already has overwhelming support from third-party companies. Check ‘em out:
It’s all quite exciting, and we expected nothing less from the creative minds of Nintendo. The Switch’s release isn’t too far off; we’ll all get a taste of it when it arrives in stores in March 2017.
Unfortunately, that’s all we have so far. No one knows how much it’s going to cost, what games it’ll launch with, and what the exact specifications are. We have our fingers crossed for worldwide shipping once it’s available.

Taking off from the main story in Part 1 where the Valkyries leads humanity against the mysterious energy called Honkai, Part 2 will feature new main characters and NPCs with distinct looks and personalities.
Unlike in the real world, Mars, where Part 2 debuts, is inhabitable in the Honkai-verse.

Mysteries are likewise hidden behind the daily lives of residents to be discovered by players.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Monster Hunter, MSI and CAPCOM have partnered for a series of limited-edition gaming products.
The announcement of the collaboration took place at the 2023 Tokyo Game Show and the products are set for a March 2024 release.
The exclusive line will include gaming laptops, monitors, graphics cards, motherboards, cases, liquid coolers, and controllers.
Rathalos, one of the series’ most iconic monsters, gets to be infused to the various gaming peripherals.
Both MSI and the developer exchanged ideas to be able to craft unique products that will represent the game well.
The Monster Hunter series features action RPG games that pit players against giant monsters in a natural environment. The first title debuted in 2004, and the franchise has since grown into a megahit, with a movie of the same name even hitting cinemas in 2020.

One of the biggest developments for the new iPhone 15 Pro series was the genuine push towards gaming. The new flagship promises a healthy lineup of modern games coming to the platform soon. Now, one of those titles, Resident Evil Village, has finally received an official launch date.
Resident Evil Village is one of the most notable entries in the long-running horror franchise. Though Resident Evil 4 remains an unbeaten classic in gaming history, Village leverages modern consoles to deliver the iconic feel of the series. In fact, it’s already available on a lot of different platforms including unlikely ones such as the Nintendo Switch and macOS.
Now, the title is getting an official iOS version. Without the version, it’s difficult to say how the game will perform on the smartphone. Thankfully, the wait won’t be long anymore. Resident Evil Village will be officially available on the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max starting October 30, right on time for Halloween. It will also come to the iPad Air and the iPad Pro. The base game will cost US$ 40 and an additional US$ 20 for the DLC.
Besides Resident Evil Village, the iOS and iPadOS platforms will also get other big names such as Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Death Stranding.
