The Nintendo Switch[2] is Nintendo's upcoming home console platform[3][4]. The system is described as being a hybrid of handheld and home console devices, allowing players to play home console games on the go.[5] Officially unveiled in October 2016, The Nintendo Switch is expected to launch in March 2017 worldwide[1].
Production
The development of the new platform was initially confirmed by Satoru Iwata during an investor's briefing in March 2015, revealing the new hardware under the codename "NX".[6] Succeeding Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima would later state that the Nintendo Switch is not intended to be the successor to either the Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family[7], and that the device is based around a new concept.[7][6] The Pokémon Company president Tsunekazu Ishihara would also state that the console "is trying to change what it means to be a home console device or a hand-held device".[8] The console was finally revealed as the Nintendo Switch on October 20, 2016.[5]

Games
The Nintendo Switch will be the first Nintendo console after the Nintendo GameCube to not use a variant of the Game Disc format for physical releases, instead opting for a variant of the Game Card format used with Nintendo's handheld devices since the Nintendo DS.[9]
Currently, five games have been confirmed to be released for the Nintendo Switch: Just Dance 2017, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild[10], Template:Dqw[11], Template:Dqw[12], and "Project Sonic 2017"[13]. Breath of the Wild is the only Nintendo-published game confirmed so far.
Also shown during the premiere trailer were demos for a 3D Super Mario game, a basketball game, a game by Bethesda Softworks, and games similar to (possibly ports of) the Wii U titles Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon.[2]
Accessories
Similar to the Wii U, the Nintendo Switch will also have a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, resembling a more traditional controller.[5]
