Nintendo Switch launches worldwide March 3, $299 in US

The Nintendo Switch will launch in Japan, the US, Canada, “major European countries” and Hong Kong on March 6, Nintendo announced in a Japanese presentation late Thursday night. The system will cost $299 in the Unites States, 29,980 yen in Japan, and  cost will vary by retailer and country throughout Europe.

Nintendo also announced the system will not be subject to a region lock, and that all software would work on systems released in all countries.

The Joy-Con controllers, which can be slid off the side of the capacitive touch screen tablet on the hybrid system, will sport a motion IR camera that Nintendo says can “tell the difference between rock paper and scissors” and the distance of a hand flashed in front of it. The system also makes use of what Nintendo is calling “HD rumble,” which can let players differentiate “the number of ice cube in a virtual glass” and the water filling that glass.
