GI Show – Breaking Down The Nintendo Switch Reveal

Who would have thought that a random Thursday in October would be one of the biggest days of the year for game news? This is not the full episode of The Game Informer Show podcast, which is still going live at 6pm Central on Thursday, but is instead an emergency special edition podcast to break down the big reveal of Nintendo's next system. Ditching the codename "NX", the Nintendo Switch combines the company's handheld and home console gaming efforts into a bizarre, new form-factor. There's a lot of news to break down from Thursday's video, so check out our discussion about the name, tech, and potential new Mario game.
