Upcoming Gaming Consoles to Wishlist

2017 is finally here, and along with it comes the excitement of looking forward to the new gaming consoles to be launched during the year.
This means we can finally stop talking about the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 exploding and the aux-less iPhone 7 and focus on what really matters: what gaming devices are going to be released this year and when we can get our hands on them.

Nintendo Switch

Nintendo fans: rejoice. Nintendo’s new gaming console, Nintendo Switch, is a convertible device that can be used as a home console or as a portable gaming system for on-the-go gamers.

Highlighted Features:Immersive Rumble + Touchscreen Technology

• Enjoy your games in a whole new way with the 6.2 inch multi-touch capable touchscreen. 
• Feel the game as it rumbles in your hands and immerses you in the experience of a virtual world.

Extended Battery Life

• Your new gaming console won’t stop until you’re ready to. Nintendo has packed their Nintendo Switch with a battery that lasts 6 hours on a single charge. Playing something action-packed and memory-heavy like The Legend of Zelda™: Breath of the Wild? You can expect around 3 hours before you have to plug-in.

Intuitive Multiplayer FunctionalityLocal Multiplayer

• Through the use of Joy-Con(R) controllers, you can transform your gaming console into a multiplayer entertainment center. 
• Flick open the kickstand and use the controllers like a Wii controller or slide them back together into a traditional controller when you’re playing alone.

Online Multiplayer

• Play online with thousands of other Nintendo Switch gamers on some of the games that will be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey.

Are you as excited to try it as we are? The device is expected to be released March 3, 2017. That’s only five Mondays away, fellow Nintendo aficionados.

Xbox Project Scorpio

Self-dubbed as “the most powerful console ever built,” Microsoft’s Xbox Project Scorpio is the latest and most advanced addition to the Xbox One gaming systems. Microsoft has done a good job of keeping this device’s specs under wraps, but here is what we know so far:

• True 4K gaming
• 6 Teraflops of graphical processing power
• 8 CPU Cores
• 320 GB/s Memory bandwidth
• Compatibility with Xbox One games and accessories (Phew!)

With this upcoming gaming console’s killer graphical processing power and 4k gaming, it is evident that Microsoft wants to launch Xbox into the future of virtual reality gaming.

Project Scorpio is expected to be released during the 2017 Holiday Season. I’m afraid we can’t hold our breath for this release.
