"Zelda BotW", "Amson", "Sumbra SP" and other well-known game consoles! Nintendo Switch, today is the fifth anniversary.

　The Nintendo home game console Nintendo Switch went on sale on March 3, 2017 and celebrates its fifth anniversary today. [see another picture of this article] Nintendo Switch announced its existence as code name "NX" in 2015. Since then, in October 2016, together with the name "Nintendo Switch", the entity was made public for the first time. Nintendo Switch is characterized by the functions of both portable and video game consoles. The fuselage has a 6.2inch display similar to that of a tablet, which can be used as a portable game console by installing "Joy-Con" on both sides. In addition, the main body is installed on the "dock" connected to the TV, and after removing the controller, it is instantly transformed into a video game machine. In addition, there is a "table mode" that can be placed on the table to play games by using the bracket on the main body. As its name suggests, portable mode, TV mode, and table mode can be "switched on". Among the titles released are the action adventure "the Legend of Zelda", which won the first place in the TV show "Video Game General Election", and "1-2Switch", which maximizes the use of Joy-Con functions. After that, the hit works such as "Mario wheelbarrow 8 Deluxe", "Spatu 2", "Pokemon Sword Shield", "rare Animal Forest" and "SPECIAL Brothers Mathew" have been launched successively. By the end of December 2021, more than 700, 60 million pieces of software had been sold. In 2019, with the improvement of extended battery life, a "Nintendo Switch Lite" specifically for mobile phone mode was introduced. In addition, the "Nintendo Switch (Organic EL Model)" appeared in 2021, which carried out the large-scale display, organic EL, the improvement of the bracket and so on. With the different uses and times, the derivative machines also appeared. Nintendo Switch will also release sequels to Spatu 3, Senobrad 3, Pokemon Scarlett Violet and the Wild Legend of Zelda. I'm also looking forward to the future software lineup. ©Nintendo
