Nintendo reveals newest games console - the Switch
The much-anticipated release of Japanese video gaming firm Nintendo's latest console is here.
The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid portable and home device which allows users to play both at home or with their smartphone or tablet.
The console is set to go on sale in March of 2017, and the company hopes that it will be a catalyst for a reversal of its fortunes.
Despite first hinting at the release of a new console in March 2015, it has taken until now for the company to provide the first look at what it will contain.
The device has a small tablet-sized screen with removable controllers on each side, which can be used as part of the screen, or as part of the home console.
Nintendo said that the new console would "enable gamers to play the same title wherever, whenever and with whomever they choose".
A number of specific games have already been announced as partners of the console ahead of its March release. Zelda and Mario Kart are two of the offerings which will be included along with the original device.
