The '''Nintendo Switch''' ({{ja|ニンテンドースイッチ|Nintendō Suitchi}}) is the seventh home video game console released by [[Nintendo]]. Known in development by its codename '''NX''', it was unveiled in October 2016 and was released worldwide on March 3, 2017. The Switch is considered a "hybrid" console; it is designed primarily as a home console, with the main unit inserted onto a docking station to connect to a television. Alternatively, it can be removed from the dock and used similarly to a mobile tablet, or placed in a standalone tabletop position visible to several players. The Switch uses [[Joy-Con]] wireless controllers, which include standard buttons and a directional joystick for user input, motion sensing, and high-definition tactile feedback. Switch games and software are available on both physical flash ROM cartridges and digital distribution, and does not use region locking. | The '''Nintendo Switch''' ({{ja|ニンテンドースイッチ|Nintendō Suitchi}}) is the seventh home video game console released by [[Nintendo]].
