Nintendo Switch is a new home gaming system coming in March 2017

Nintendo provided the first glimpse of its new home gaming system and revealed that it is called Nintendo Switch. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system also enables gamers to play the same title wherever, whenever and with whomever they choose. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system to enable unprecedented new video game play styles.

It is great to see Nintendo innovating a new space in gaming. With a console that's at home connected to an HDTV and also capable of morphing into a powerful mobile gaming device for travelling and even interactive on-the-go gaming, it is touching upon areas that neither Sony nor Microsoft really have any answers for right now plus it is something different from casual mobile gaming found on smartphones and tablets.

This works so seamlessly that when you're listening to music on your phone and you pop in the JBL SoundBoost Speaker, it suddenly comes to life on the SoundBoost Speaker.
