Nintendo’s Switch presentation explained in GIFs

Nintendo capped off the second week of 2017 with a major presentation showing off its upcoming Switch console, but you don’t need to watch it for yourself. That’s why the gods invented animated GIFs.

Nintendo Switch is due out March 3 for $300, and it’s up for preorder right now at a bunch of retailers. Games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and motion-controlled minigame collection 1-2 Switch will debut alongside the system.
