The '''Nintendo Switch''', codenamed "NX", is a hybrid gaming console and is Nintendo's current video game console. Officially revealed via a trailer posted on Nintendo's YouTube and social media channels on October 20, 2016, it was released worldwide on March 3, 2017, with a suggested retail price of US$299.99. On September 13, 2018, Nintendo announced a teaser for the then-untitled {{NH}},<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/09-13-2018/ Nintendo Direct 09-13-2018]</ref> and after being delayed, was released on March 20, 2020.

The Switch is a hybrid device: players can play it as a handheld console or as a home console using a TV-connected dock. Similar to the [[DS]] and [[3DS]], cartridges serve as the physical format of its games. The Nintendo Switch ecosystem was the first Nintendo system to use a paid online service known as [[Nintendo Switch Online]]. As such, {{NH|nolink}} is the first game in the {{SER}} where online is limited to paid users. The Nintendo Switch's built-in screenshot feature allows screenshots to be taken with the tap of a special square button on Nintendo Switch controllers; this also makes {{NH|nolink}} the first mainline game not use an in-game screenshot system.

Prior to the release of {{NH|nolink}}, Nintendo released a special edition of the Switch for a limited time that features a {{NH|short|nolink}}-themed dock and Joy-Cons. In September 2020, Nintendo announced the special edition console would return to retailers.<ref>{{Cite Twitter|author=NintendoAmerica|date=September 25, 2020|url=https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1309479376514408448|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220822201439/https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1309479376514408448|archive-date=August 22, 2022|retrieved=September 25, 2020}}</ref>

As of December 31, 2023, the Nintendo Switch family has sold 139.36 million units worldwide <ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/index.html</ref>, making it both Nintendo's best-selling home console after the [[Wii]] and second best-selling handheld behind the [[Nintendo DS]], as well as the third best-selling video game platform of all-time behind both the DS and [[wikipedia:Sony|Sony]]'s [[wikipedia:PlayStation 2|PlayStation 2]].
