What's a Nintendo Switch?

Introducing Nintendo Switch, the new home video game system from Nintendo. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system can be taken on the go so players can enjoy a full home console experience anytime, anywhere. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system, with unprecedented new play styles brought to life by the two new Joy-Con controllers.

What is the purpose of the Nintendo Switch?

Nintendo Switch is designed to fit your life, transforming from home console to portable system in a snap. Dock your Nintendo Switch to enjoy HD gaming on your TV. Flip the stand to share the screen, then share the fun with a multiplayer game. Pick it up and play with the Joy‑Con™ controllers attached.

Do any games come with Nintendo Switch?

The Switch, unlike the Wii or Wii U, doesn't come with much. There's no pack-in game. The main Nintendo Switch bundle is just the hardware: the console, the left and right Joy-Con controllers, two wrist straps for them, one Joy-Con grip, one dock, an HDMI cable and an AC adapter. That's it.
