The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid console produced and released by Nintendo. It is a tablet with detachable controller units, known collectively or singularly as Joy-Con and can be played on a television using HDMI via a charging dock included with the console. It is the first Nintendo console with a multi-touch screen, a capture button and an Nvidia hardware architecture. It also features a kick-stand that allows the console to sit upright on any flat surface. It was officially revealed on October 20, 2016 and released on March 3, 2017 globally in most markets.
