Nintendo Switch
In 2017, Nintendo revolutionized gaming with the launch of the Nintendo Switch; a versatile handheld/docked console, allowing gaming on the go or at home. Unlike its competitors, Nintendo introduced a unique feature: couch co-op, boosting its popularity in the US and Japan. The joy-con sharing system made multiplayer gaming easy, eliminating the need for an extra controller. Surpassing Sony’s PS Vita in sales, the Switch boasts a vast exclusive game library after four years, offering an immersive gaming experience.
