The 8 Most Pressing Questions We Still Have About Nintendo’s New Console, the Switch

Nintendo has already announced the basic functionality of its next game system, the Switch: It's a tablet-style machine that plays games portably, but can also dock to your television set and play its games on the big screen as well. But that's all we know so far, since Nintendo's unveil video last October deliberately left a lot up in the air. Tonight, Nintendo will be taking the wraps off everything else in a livestreamed video presentation from Tokyo—which includes, we can only assume, going into detail about Switch's features. It's about time, too; Switch is launching in March.

So far, Nintendo's done everything right with its rollout. The unveiling video was a big hit, and fans are excited about the fact that they'll now have a single Nintendo system that plays all its games, anywhere they want. Switch showed up (alongside Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto) on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, to rapturous applause. All according to plan. Tonight's presentation is where Nintendo can either seal the deal or—if its announcements aren't what folks are hoping for—give itself an uphill battle this spring.

Here are the biggest questions that still linger about Switch, and what we're hoping to hear tonight.
