Check out the first official unboxing video for the Nintendo Switch
|

Feel free to roll your eyes here, but sometime unboxing videos can be very satisfying - like watching someone pick up a really cheesy slice of pizza on the TV. Well, aside from the slightly illegal leak last week, we've just got our first official look at the Switch in all its boxed and unboxed glory.

Almost a week away from the Switch's launch, Kit and Krysta, the hosts of Nintendo Minute, posted a video online today detailing what exactly we can be expecting come next week. Granted we saw something similar during Treehouse Live, but this is 11 minutes of delicious detail.

Notably smaller than both the Xbox One and PS4's boxes, everything about the Switch is relatively compact. On the outside of the box we've got your usual instructions and pictures, just to make sure you ordered a Switch, not a kettle, and then it sits neatly inside, awaiting a little bit of your love.

It's not the most thrilling thing, and sadly doesn't show any games alongside it, but the main point of this video is that is shows off the Joy Cons, card slots, kickstand, and other bits and bobs in pretty excellent detail.
