The upcoming release of the Nintendo Switch console game is creating a buzz in the gaming world. However, many are still left hanging as to when what and how much is this new device would be. But no worries fans and gamers as Nintendo finally announces it all.

The much-awaited brand new console game of Nintendo Switch will finally be out in the market on March 3, 2017, according to TechRadar. For months now, fans, consumers, and gamers have been given a sneak peek and a taste of what the console device would look like and what will be in store for buyers. So far, many are patiently waiting for it to be released and cannot wait to get their hands on it.

Pre-orders for the Switch have already started as early as the last quarter of last year in the US and UK. It is said that the console will be priced at around $299.99 and this will already include the console, Joy-Con controllers, Joy-Con Grip, wrist straps, HDMI cable, AC adapter and Switch Dock. It will come in neon blue, neon red or slate gray.

Subscription fees will cost around $17.63 to 426.44, still cheaper than other consoles. It will also have one free game per month while Sony and Microsoft have more free games monthly.
