Nintendo Switch can be connected to Wifi for multiplayer gaming with a maximum of eight consoles able to be connected for local wireless multiplayer. This new addition to the Nintendo family features high definition “rumbles” for a unique vibration experience. It can be played in TV mode, handheld mode and tabletop mode with games like Super Mario, Monopoly, NBA 2K18 and FIFA to name just a few.
