The Nintendo Switch made an impressive appearance on US TV last night during The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime demoed the Switch with a live demo of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. First the game was seen being played on a big screen, with the Switch docked, but towards the end of the demo Reggie undocked the Switch and passed the system to Fallon who continued to play using the device’s screen.

The presentation was impressive, although there may have been a big of jiggery pokery going on when the Switch was undocked – the big screen cut away from the game and there was a bit of a wait before we saw Link back on the handheld screen. Either the process is still not finalised, or Nintendo wasn’t ready to show the system menu just yet.

You can check out the 10 minute segment in the video below.

We are expecting to hear much more about the Switch in January.
