Everything that was announced at the Nintendo Switch event

Unless you've veto'd the internet and all forms of communication, you'll know the Nintendo Switch event happened in the early hours of this morning, and whilst it answered some questions it brought up quite a few still unanswered.

But there's still time to fill in all of the gaps, and just to be super convenient here's a useful compilation of everything we know so far about the anticipated console.

Yes, thankfully they stuck to that factor. With a March 3rd launch date we really don't have too long to wait. However the slightly disappointing news is that the console hybrid will retail at $299.99 which catapults it further away from its initial 'affordable' estimate.

Sadly the one MAJOR turn-off for the Switch is that its battery life for handheld mode ranges from abysmal to mediocre (two-and-a-half to six-and-a-half hours). For short trips, that's enough time, but for longer journeys where you might need distracting for several hours, it doesn't quite cut it.

There's a bunch to be said about such little things. From the clever design of them to their HD Rumble feedback and intuitive motion IR cameras built in to make games more energetic. Whilst initially advertised as grey, there's also a neon blue/neon red combo available, and it's just adorable.

Designed with 32 GB internal memory, that's not a lot of space by today's standard, but luckily the physical Switch games will be loaded by inserting a game card. If you're more of a digital downloader, however, you can expand the Switch's memory thanks to standard SDXC cards. Easy peasy.

Rumours flew about last year discussing whether the actual body would be a touchscreen or just your average screen, but the presentation today confirmed it. The Switch has a 6.2" capacitive touch screen which features a ten-point multi-touch display, supporting multi-finger gestures.

These are just some of the important basics, but below you'll find the whole spiel of what to expect come release.
