The Nintendo Switch 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.
Known in development by its codename NX, it was unveiled in October 2016, subsequently revealed as the Switch in January 2017, and was released worldwide on March 3rd, 2017. A second handheld-only model of the Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo Switch Lite, was released later on September 20th, 2019. The Switch is considered a "hybrid" console; it is designed primarily as a home console, with the main unit inserted onto a docking station to connect to a television. Alternatively, it can be removed from the dock and used similarly to a mobile tablet, or placed in a standalone tabletop position visible to several players. The Switch uses Joy-Con wireless controllers, although Pro Controllers are also available as separate purchases for a more traditional controller.
In the Dragon Quest series
Dragon Quest Builders 2, the sequel to Dragon Quest Builders, was released in Japan in December 2018 and worldwide in July 2019 on the Switch. Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition is a Switch exclusive port of Dragon Quest XI, featuring content from both the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo 3DS versions of the game, as well as addition content such as the party following the Luminary around. It was released worldwide on September 27th, 2019. On the same day, Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest II, and Dragon Quest III all received ports to the Switch.
