<p>Incredibly, it’s now <em>one year</em> since Nintendo lifted the lid on the Switch – and <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/04/random_switch_actress_karen_embraces_her_nintendo_meme">Nintendo Karen</a>.</p>
<p>Leaked <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/07/multiple_sources_outline_a_portable_nx_with_detachable_controllers_including_a_base_station_for_tv">many months ahead</a> of the official reveal, the hybrid nature of the Switch – then known as “NX” – left some unconvinced. Even the announcement video itself – which focused on the system’s ability to transition smoothly between home console and handheld modes – left some unanswered questions, and it wasn’t until the machine was actually in the hands of the general public a few months later that the unique nature of Nintendo’s vision finally shone through. </p>
<p>The rest, as they say, is history; Switch is selling like hot cakes and is inundated with quality games. But dammit, we <em>still</em> don’t have that cool in-car attachment. What gives, Nintendo?</p>
<p>What were your initial thoughts when you watched this trailer 12 months ago, and have they changed since then? Let us know with a comment.</p>
