About it
Nintendo announced the Switch in March 2016, but was codenamed the NX. Nintendo has stated that the console will learn of the mistakes it learned from the Wii U. It was revealed that Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be released on the Switch and the Wii U. In October 2016, Nintendo unveiled the NX as the Switch.

The Switch is called that as the controller can be turned into a normal grip controller or a gamepad-style. It can also be utilized as a tablet-style. The controls on the controller are detachable and can be used in a style similar to the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk. The console uses cartridge cards to play games and can be inserted into the controller gamepad so it can played out of the house.
