Editing Nintendo Switch

The '''Nintendo Switch''' ({{ja|ニンテンドースイッチ|Nintendō Suitchi}}) is the seventh home video game console released by [[Nintendo]]. The console is the successor to the [[Wii U]] and it competes with Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One console in the 8th generation of video game systems.

In July 2018, a Switch revision was quietly released that had multiple components changed, in order to block multiple common hardware exploits, making it so that soft-modding is harder on these devices. Another revision, featuring a longer battery life than the original of 4.5–9 hours, was announced on July 17th, 2019, and was released in Japan and North America in mid-August 2019, and released in the United Kingdom in September 2019. This revision of the Switch primarily features the  a change in both the main CPU and GPU that leads to lower power consumption while otherwise maintaining the same battery, which extends the battery life. The '''Nintendo Switch Lite''', was announced on July 10th, 2019, and was released worldwide on September 20th, 2019. It is a handheld-focused revision of the system, integrating the Joy-Con as part of the main unit's hardware, and has a smaller screen and a larger battery capacity. Additionally, a regular directional pad replaced the four directional buttons on the integrated left Joy-Con. However, due to the integration of the Joy-Con into the system, they cannot be removed, and thus, the HD Rumble and IR camera features have been removed. The Switch Lite only directly supports games that can be played in handheld mode, retaining features like the Switch's gyroscopic sensors and Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC communication compatibility. Some tabletop games that require the HD Rumble or IR camera features will require players to use separate Joy-Con with the Switch Lite. The system does not support any docking or connectivity to a television, so it is incompatible with games that require television mode. Players who attempt to purchase games that require television or tabletop mode via the eShop on the Switch Lite will be notified of the incompatibility. In addition to other normal Joy-Con, the Switch Lite does support external controllers otherwise compatible with the Switch. A third model of the Nintendo Switch, the '''Nintendo Switch OLED Model''', was announced on July 6th, 2021, and was released worldwide on October 8th, 2021. It features a 7 inches (180 mm) 720p OLED display, and when docked, output to 1080p resolution. Additionally, it features 64 GB of internal storage, enhanced audio functions, and includes a wider adjustable stand for use in tabletop mode. The unit ships with a new dock that includes a wired LAN port. Otherwise, it features similar technical specifications as the base Switch model, and is compatible with all Switch games and existing accessories. The unit ships in two bundles: one that includes a black dock and red and blue Joy-Con (similar to the base model's default color scheme), and a white dock with white Joy-Con.
