Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch, first released worldwide on March 3rd, 2017, is a hybrid console and handheld game system. The base model can be used either as a handheld with the controllers connected to the system and screen, or as a console which connects to the player's television using a dock. The detachable controllers called Joy-Con can also be used as a single controller or as two smaller controllers. A budget model known as the Switch Lite exists as well, which acts as a handheld system only, lacking removable controllers and the ability to connect to a TV. The system also received an upgraded model which featured an OLED screen.
