SWITCH & PLAY

Meet Nintendo Switch, the home console you can take anywhere.

Freedom to have fun. Wherever. Whenever.

Nintendo Switch is designed to go wherever you do, transforming from home console to portable system in a snap. So you get more time to play the games you love, however you like.

Stay / Go

Dock your Nintendo Switch and play in HD. Heading out? Take your game with you in handheld mode.

Your Way / Highway

Get lost in an epic adventure or put the pedal to the metal. Nintendo Switch can handle it all.

Face Off / Team Up

Use two Joy‑Con™ controllers to play face-to-face, or jump online for a 4v4 match. The more, the merrier.

Play at home / Play anywhere

TV mode - Dock your Nintendo Switch to enjoy HD gaming on your TV.

Handheld mode - Undock to seamlessly transition into handheld mode.

Play together

Tabletop mode - Flip the stand to share the screen, then share the fun with a multiplayer game.

This is Joy‑Con™

One controller or two, vertical or sideways, motion controls or buttons…Joy‑Con and Nintendo Switch give you total gameplay flexibility. Use the included Joy‑Con grip to combine both Joy‑Con into a traditional-style controller.

Depending on the game, you might use a single Joy‑Con in each hand—or even give the second one to a friend.

Ready to go? Slide the Joy‑Con into Nintendo Switch to go portable.

Designed to bring games to life

• HD rumble makes games more immersive

Imagine your Joy-Con is a glass. With HD rumble, you can feel the difference as you add ice cubes and pour water into the glass. It’s a sense of touch that goes beyond mere vibrations.

• Sense shape, movement and distance.

The IR Motion Camera in Joy-Con (R) can detect the shape, movement, and distance of objects captured by the camera. And that makes new gameplay experiences possible.

Parental controls

Keep the focus on fun by using parental controls to manage how your family interacts with Nintendo Switch.

You can manage Nintendo eShop purchases via your Nintendo Account. You may also limit sharing on social networks, restrict access to games based on their ESRB ratings, and more. A free app gives you even more choices and a handy way to manage your Nintendo Switch parental controls from anywhere via your mobile device.
