The Nintendo Switch, codenamed "NX", 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 set price of $299.99. 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. Unlike the Wii and Wii U before it, the Switch is not backwards-compatible with either 3DS or Wii U software.[1]
On September 13, 2018, Nintendo announced Animal Crossing: New Horizons,[2] which was later released on March 20, 2020. The Nintendo Switch is also available as a furniture item in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Prior to the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Nintendo released a special edition of the Switch for a limited time that features a New Horizons-themed dock and Joy-Cons. In September 2020, Nintendo announced the special edition console will return to retailers at an unknown date.[3]
Nintendo Switch Lite
Nintendo Switch Lite is the first redesign for the Nintendo Switch. It was announced on July 10, 2019, and released on September 20, 2019.[4]. The Switch Lite is a smaller and handheld only version of the Nintendo Switch, with no removable controllers. It is available in yellow, gray, turquoise and coral and costs $199.99.
