Playstaton, Xbox and More Celebrate the Launch of Nintendo Switch

This past Friday saw the launch of the highly anticipated new console, the Nintendo Switch. This coincided with the launch of the latest installed of the acclaimed game series The Legend of Zelda with Breath of the Wild. It was a pretty big day for gaming fans, as brand new system launches don’t come very often. As such, Sony and Microsoft came out to congratulate Nintendo on the system launch via social media.

WOW! Congratulations to @NintendoUK. Whatever adventure you go on this weekend, what an amazing time for gaming! pic.twitter.com/QXbZSc1jsA

They were not the only ones, however, as multiple gaming-related and non-gaming-related companies on Twitter gave a shout out to Nintendo. Some of these range from general excitement about Zelda to the internet’s obsession with tasting Switch game cards. Check out all this, including a letter from Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime, down below.
