The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid console you can play on the TV or take with you. The Joy-Con controllers slide off, so two people can play right away in games that support it. It plays the full Nintendo Switch library, including Mario, Zelda and Pokémon games. Nintendo still releases system updates for it, including version 23.0.0 in September 2026. It’s a great fit for families and anyone who wants one system for the couch and the road.
