REDMOND, WA (NBC News) Nintendo is literally hitting the ground running with the launch of the Nintendo Switch, hoping to add versatility to the gaming world.

Players can use the switch with a TV, as a handheld device, or set the display anywhere for on-the-go gaming.

“It’s the first time anyone has really tried to blend a home console with a portable console, something like the Gameboy,” said Ben Howard of GameSpot.

The hype is already translating to sales, with pre-orders sold out early and a limited supply in stores, it could be hard to get your hands on the newest gaming system around.
