==Overview==
=== Development===
The Nintendo Switch began development in 2013<ref name="Development">{{Cite web|first1=Yuji|last1=Nakamura|first2=Takashi|last2=Amano|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-10-28/nintendo-s-big-switch-q-a-with-president-tatsumi-kimishima|title=Nintendo's Big Switch: Q&A With President Tatsumi Kimishima|publisher=Bloomberg Technology|quote='''Tatsumi Kimishima''': Three years ago, all of us together — [Satoru Iwata], Genyo Takeda (technology head) and Shigeru Miyamoto (creative head) — created a plan to revitalize our business, which included smart devices, our new hardware and maximizing our intellectual property|date=27 October 2016|accessdate= 21 September 2017}}</ref> in an attempt to bring back sales to [[Nintendo]] after lackluster success with the [[Wii U]] and marketing competition from mobile gaming.

Before the system was officially unveiled, ''[[Sonic Forces]]'' was slated to release on the system when it was still under its codename, the "NX". Thus, ''Sonic Forces'' was one of the first titles to be announced for the system.

===Hardware===
The Nintendo Switch acts as a hybrid home and handheld console. As a "home" console, the system itself can be docked on the Nintendo Switch Dock, where it can connect to a TV. However, the system can be taken out of the Dock and be used as a handheld device, with or without the Joy-Cons (the controllers of the system) attached. The Joy-Cons can be attached to the system itself, or inserted into the Joy-Con Grip, where they can serve as a traditional controller. The Joy-Cons can also be held separately, can also either be used horizontally or vertically, and supports motion controls, much like the [[wikipedia:Wii_Remote|Wii Remote]] and [[wikipedia:Wii_Remote#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]].
