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.
