Nintendo Switch is a composite video game console created by Nintendo. It is the company's seventh main console. Lots of mystery was surrounding this device when it was known as the NX. And the mystery is still present now that we know the truth. But there's something remarkable about the switch, Nvidia's CEO Huang explains why.
According to the Nvidia's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, there is something more extraordinary and groundbreaking about the Nintendo Switch. In a interview with the VentureBeat, Huang talked about why the technology for the Nintendo Switch beckoned for Nvidia's involvement.
He also explained why this particular machine from Nintendo is remarkable and how the dedication for them to have crafted a proprietary design based on their Tegra platform.
"In the case of Switch, it's such a ground-breaking design. Performance matters, because games are built on great performance, but form factor and energy efficiency matter it is incredible, because they want to build something that's portable and transformable."
He added saying the type of game play Nintendo want to enable is like nothing the world has so far with the scenario where two great engineering teams needed to hunker down.
Huang also said about how the several hundred engineering years went into building this new console and it's the type of project that really inspires us, gets us excited. He named it as "classic win-win."
For the ground breaking title he said that the ability to keep playing from your living room right into portability is groundbreaking.
Every other device usually requires a soft boot or a reboot or being shut down before it goes from the television screen to your pocket while performing intensive GPU tasks. You can keep the game open and running while you switch from portable play to home living room play without skipping a beat is remarkable.
In the Nintendo Switch, there is also the multiplayer factor. For instance if two people are playing the game so they can sit down at the couch and play in split-screen, but then they can also play split-screen in while the Nintendo Switch is portable by using the detachable controllers as player 1 and player 2 control schemes. Huang quoted this as 'the brilliantly complex'.
