Nintendo today detailed the three main playstyles of the Nintendo Switch.

TV mode: “Play games on the TV, in typical video game style.”
Tabletop mode: “Stand the Nintendo Switch console up with its kickstand, and play using the Joy-Con.”
Handheld mode: “Attach the left and right Joy-Con to the system. You can take it with you… and play anywhere you’d like.”

Moreover, it was confirmed that up to 8 Switch systems can be connected for local, wireless multiplayer gaming.

We’ll have more as it becomes available.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
