The Nintendo Switch has been making a lot of waves ever since it was unveiled in October. The new console by Nintendo is a hybrid of sorts, as it works both as a TV console and as a portable gaming system.

You can either connect it to the dock and the TV and play games on it or use the tablet that is built-into the Switch. There’s a TV mode, a handheld mode and a tabletop mode. Basically, you can take the Nintendo Switch anywhere with you for a gaming session.
