Nintendo Switch

The latest console from the video-game wizards at Nintendo, the Switch combines the motion-control madness of the Wii with the portable magic of the 3DS into one next-gen experience. Unlike standalone consoles such as the PS4 or Xbox One, the Switch can be played either on a TV or on the go, thanks to the flexibility of its Joy-Con controllers. Individually, each Joy-Con can be held like a Wii remote (making use of its built-in motion controls) or turned sideways and played like a traditional gamepad. Together, they snap into each side of the Joy-Con grip, forming a pro-style controller complete with dual joysticks.

As for the Switch itself, the innovative design features two different setups, making for infinite possibilities of how (and where) to play. At home, the console rests in the charging dock to display games on an HDTV in brilliant 1080p resolution. But the system also serves as a small TV itself: simply remove it from the dock, snap the Joy-Con controllers onto its rails, and carry it wherever you go—even if it’s only to your bed.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Hyrule needs you. As the latest incarnation of Link, you have been called upon again to save the land from a returned Ganon—and this time, the world that needs saving is bigger than ever before. With towering mountain peaks enveloped in snow, vast fields populated by moblins and worse, and mysterious forests that seem to go on forever, Breath of the Wild is 12 times larger than the world of Twilight Princess. Also unlike recent games in the series, Breath of the Wild invites players to explore at their own pace. The plot does not develop in a linear way, but instead manifests through the living, breathing world as the player discovers it. It’s a throwback to the exploration-centric style of the very first game, but this time, it’s rendered in stunning HD.

• Explore Hyrule however you’d like, with challenging dungeons that may be discovered in any order.
• Interact with the world like never before, thanks to features such as tree branches that can be used to light fires, and shields that can be put to multiple creative uses.
• Discover secret technologies devised by people who inhabited the land long ago, and use them to unravel the larger mystery of Ganon’s return.
• Other features never-before-seen in the Legend of Zelda series include HD resolution, a detailed physics engine, and voice acting for key characters including Zelda and the Great Deku Tree.
• ESRB rating: E

Just Dance 2017
