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.[1]
The Nintendo Switch was originally announced on March 17, 2015, where it was originally known by its codename NX.[2]
On July 17, 2019, a revision of the Switch was announced. It features a longer battery life and better chip. It was made available for purchase in August in North America and Japan, and September in Europe.
On July 10, 2019, a version of the Switch more suited for handheld gameplay was announced. Titled the Nintendo Switch Lite, it features a smaller display, non-detachable Joy-Cons, and a traditional directional pad. It is exclusively for handheld play, and cannot be connected to the Nintendo Switch dock. It was marketed as a smaller, more affordable alternative to the Switch.
On July 6, 2021, a version of the Switch, titled the Nintendo Switch (OLED model), was announced. It features a larger, OLED display, a brand new dock with a built-in LAN port, increased storage capacity, enhanced audio, and a new adjustable stand for tabletop mode.
