Nintendo Switch

The Switch is a hybrid gaming system—designed mainly as a traditional home console connected to a television, but the console can be removed from its docking station for handheld/portable use.

The Switch consists of several hardware components that can be configured on the fly depending on the user's play style:

• The Switch Console, a tablet-like unit with an integrated battery and 6.2-inch touchscreen
• The Switch Dock, which functions as a charging station and audio/video connection to the user's television
• The Joy-Con controllers, dubbed Joy-Con L and Joy-Con R, which can be used independently or as a pair, or attached to the Switch Console via its side rails, or connected to the Joy-Con Grip for use as a single controller

Early in development, the Switch was known by the project codename Nintendo NX.
