Nintendo is revolutionizing the way players view their gaming experience, and so they have come up with an overview of what the raved-about Nintendo Switch has in store for them. It pretty much covers everything there is to know, and every second is very enticing.

In its hardware overview, it details how players can instantly switch from a traditional home console gaming to carrying it wherever the player goes, and vice versa. This is practically the main selling point of the Nintendo Switch, as it allows gamers to play wherever they are.

It enumerates the three different ways a gamer can use the Nintendo Switch, which are TV mode, handheld mode and tabletop mode. The TV mode is the usual gaming mode in which an HDMI cable is connected to the TV to enjoy a large-screen entertainment, while the other two modes give the flexibility for players to practically be anywhere with the console acting as the screen.

Arguably, more than its portability, the Joy Con is what makes the experience unique. A player can use it with the Joy Con Grip for the TV mode; he can remove it from the dock, making each side a separate controller and is beneficial for local multiplayer; and he can strap it on his wrists while using movement as controls for more action-packed titles like "Arms."

This overview is more like a condensed version of the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017, highlighting some of its important functions, letting players imagine what possibilities it holds. For those who aren't sold yet or don't fully understand how the hybrid device works, this is a great summary to look up.

Will it be worth purchasing on launch date? Perhaps a quick rundown of what titles are readily available could be a deciding factor. Games like "1-2-Switch," "Just Dance 2017," "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Skylanders Imaginators" will be launched the same day as the Nintendo Switch's release.

The Nintendo Switch becomes available on March 3, 2017.
