+The Nintendo Switch (Japanese: '''ニンテンドースイッチ''' ''Nintendo Switch'') is Nintendo's hybrid console for the eighth generation, being both a handheld and home console. Unlike Nintendo’s past home consoles and the [[Nintendo 3DS]], the system is region-free and can play games imported from any region.
-It was first officialally announced in October 2016 (previously codenamed the NX) and released in March 2017, it succeeds the [[Wii U]] and later the [[Nintendo 3DS]] once it was discontinued in mid 2020, despite initally intending to be a partner to it. The system features a 6-2 inch touch screen with detachable controllers known as Joy-Cons, along with a dock which is used for TV mode. The Nintendo Switch saw an almost immediate surge in success, selling over 10 million units and became the fastest-selling video game console in America within a time frame of the first ten months.<ref>NintendoAmerica (January 4, 2018).
