The Nintendo Switch is a handheld console that has the capability to be connected to your TV or taken on the go. The trailer shows off how the handheld device snaps out of the main unit, which transfers the gameplay from the TV to the handheld&#8217;s screen. The handheld portion of the console has two detachable controllers either side of the unit that can be held separately in each hand or shared among players for local multiplayer. There is a kick stand on the back of the unit and the trailer shows that the Switch supports local multiplayer using multiple consoles as well as split screen on a single device; using <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif\"><i>NBA 2K17<\/i><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif\"><i>Mario Kart<\/i><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif\"> to showcase this.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/media.nintendo.com\/nintendo\/bin\/hrg0pxyVmoSzGFSuMmkU6qOaZwNVk_su\/UJyaEvR9sqg00_dZoLE4Y3KitI8AShqa.jpg\" alt=\"Nintendo announced their new handheld console this month.\" width=\"740\" height=\"420\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(nintendo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif\">The console has a headphone jack, uses game cartridges, but Nintendo are yet to confirm if there is a touch screen or any sort of compatibility with cartridges from the 3DS.\u252c\u00e1<\/span>A large portion of the trailer was dedicated to the Switch&#8217;s capability to be a portable console, but there was a showcase of a new pro controller that can be used instead of the detachable \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffJoy-Con&#8217; controllers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\">Nintendo also announced a long list of third party developers and publishers that are supporting the Nintendo Switch, but the WiiU also had a f<span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif\">airly extensive, albeit smaller, list of partners that were quick to drop support for the console.

The two main issues are that of transparency and secondary compensation. The guild is unhappy with voice actors being unaware of the title of the game that they are working on.
