Nintendo Switch: Nintendo releases a new unboxing video

Can’t wait until the Nintendo Switch launches? Maybe this unboxing video will hold you over for the next nine days.

It’s been quite a long wait, but the Nintendo Switch is almost here. After months of waiting, we’ll finally be able to get it in our hands and play a variety of games at home or on the go. The console’s launch is still nine days away, but this new unboxing video is definitely cool. We can’t confirm if it’ll help you contain the hype, but it’s still nice to watch.

On Wednesday, Nintendo officially released an unboxing video for the Switch. Although it’s the first official video that we’ve seen straight from them, it isn’t necessarily the first. Last week, it seems like some people were able to steal some of the consoles and began unboxing them.

Eventually, they were caught and Nintendo identified the consoles as stolen. But, let’s get back to the topic here: the unboxing video. We’ve mentioned this already, but it’s awesome. In the video, we see everything that will be included with the Switch. Check it out below:

Of course, this isn’t something we don’t know already. It’s still pretty awesome to see with our own eyes, though. Some of the items that will come with the console are the Joy-Con controllers, the Switch dock, the Joy-Con grip, and the console itself.

For those who don’t know, the console is the screen. With the Switch, you have the option of placing it on the dock and playing on the TV, or you can simply take it on the go and play portable. There are many other ways to play as well.

For example, there’s tabletop mode, which is where you place the screen on its kickstand and play comfortably at a table. You can use the Joy-Cons freely on each hand or you can place them on the grip and use it like a regular controller.
