Whois & Analysis for nintendonews.com

The Nintendo Switch is the seventh major home video game console developed by Nintendo.

Known in development as the NX, it was unveiled in October 2016, and was released worldwide on March 3, 2017.

Nintendo considers the Switch a "hybrid" console; it is designed primarily as a home console, with the main unit inserted onto a docking station to connect to a television.

Alternatively, it can be removed from the dock and used similarly to a tablet computer through its LCD touchscreen, or placed in a standalone tabletop mode playable by several people.

The Switch's most distinguishable features are the Joy-Con wireless controllers, which include standard buttons and a directional joystick for user input, motion sensing, and high-definition tactile feedback.

The Joy-Con can attach to both sides of the console to support handheld-style play, connect to a Grip accessory to provide a traditional home console gamepad form, or be used individually in the hand like the Wii Remote.

The Switch supports both physical flash ROM cartridges and digital content for games and software, and does not use region locking.

In computing, a news aggregator, also termed a feed aggregator, feed reader, news reader, RSS reader or simply aggregator, is client software or a web application which aggregates syndicated web content such as online newspapers, blogs, podcasts, and video blogs (vlogs) in one location for easy viewing.

RSS is a synchronized subscription system.

Basically, RSS uses extensible markup language (XML) to structure pieces of information to be aggregated in a feed reader that displays the information in a user-friendly interface.

The updates distributed include, for example, journal tables of contents, podcasts, videos, and news items.

The is a digital distribution service powered by the Nintendo Network for the Nintendo 3DS, Wii U and Nintendo Switch.

Launched in June 2011, the eShop was enabled by the release of a system update that added the functionality to the Nintendo 3DS's HOME Menu.

It is the successor to both the Wii Shop Channel and DSi Shop.

Unlike on the Nintendo 3DS, the eShop was made available on the launch date of the Wii U, although a system update is required in order to access it.

It is also a multitasking application, which means it is easily accessible even when a game is already running on background through the system's Home Menu, though this feature is exclusive to the Wii U.

The Nintendo eShop features downloadable games, applications and information on upcoming film and game releases.

The World Wide Web (abbreviated WWW or the Web) is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet.

English scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989.

He wrote the first web browser computer program in 1990 while employed at CERN in Switzerland.

The Web browser was released outside of CERN in 1991, first to other research institutions starting in January 1991 and to the general public on the Internet in August 1991.

News is a mobile app and news aggregator developed by Apple Inc., for its operating system iOS, and launched with the release of iOS 9.

It is the successor to the Newsstand app included in previous versions of iOS.

Users can read news articles with it, based on publishers, websites and topics they select, such as The New York Times, technology or politics.

The app was announced at Apple's WWDC 2015 developer conference.

It was released alongside the iOS 9 release on September 16, 2015, for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

At launch, the app was only available to users in the United States, but the app has since become available to users in Australia and the United Kingdom as well with the release of iOS 9.1 on October 21, 2015.

During the keynote address at WWDC 2016, it was revealed that with the forthcoming iOS 10 update the News app will undergo new icon and app redesigns along with an improved For You section organized by topics.

Furthermore, it was announced that there would be support for paid subscriptions for certain news sources and publishers as well as an opt-in system for breaking news notifications and email on top news stories.
