The Nintendo Switch (ニンテンドースイッチ) 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 do not use region locking.

In the Super Smash Bros. series

A Super Smash Bros. title for Nintendo Switch is to be released on the console in 2018. The current confirmed characters are Mario, BOTW Link, and the Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl. Other characters can be seen but aren't as easy. For example, If you look closely at the left you can see Yoshi. Other characters can be seen but are listed on a page already. It is unconfirmed whether the game is a port or a new game. There is one character people think will come back, the Ice Climbers. They are seen highly likely because they were meant to be in Smash for Wii U/3DS. They were taken out due to 3DS hardware not able to make two characters battle in one slot. They worked fine on Wii U but, the creator wanted identical characters between versions. Due to how much powerful the switch is compared to the Wii U, they have some of the highest chances to be in the next Super Smash Bros. title.
