The Nintendo Switch is the seventh major home video game console developed by Nintendo.

Known in development as the NX, it was unveiled in October 2016, and was released worldwide on March 3, 2017.

Nintendo considers the Switch a "hybrid" console; it is designed primarily as a home console, with the main unit inserted onto a docking station to connect to a television.

Alternatively, it can be removed from the dock and used similarly to a tablet computer through its LCD touchscreen, or placed in a standalone tabletop mode playable by several people.

The Switch's most distinguishable features are the Joy-Con wireless controllers, which include standard buttons and a directional joystick for user input, motion sensing, and high-definition tactile feedback.

The Joy-Con can attach to both sides of the console to support handheld-style play, connect to a Grip accessory to provide a traditional home console gamepad form, or be used individually in the hand like the Wii Remote.

The Switch supports both physical flash ROM cartridges and digital content for games and software, and does not use region locking.

Homebrew is a term frequently applied to video games or other software produced by consumers to target proprietary hardware platforms (usually with hardware restrictions) not typically user-programmable or that use proprietary storage methods.

This can include games developed with official development kits, such as Net Yaroze, Linux for PlayStation 2 or Microsoft XNA.

A mod (short for "modification") is an alteration where someone, usually a player, takes the code of a video game and changes it.

Mods may range from small changes and simple tweaks to completely new games made within a video game.
