 :::That, I'm unsure about. I think evidence of the lack of backwards compatibility can be seen with Breath of The Wild and Mario Kart 8, both of which are getting re-released on the Switch despite being on the Wii U. This is technically still speculatory since Nintendo hasn't said anything as far as I'm aware, but to me that essentially says that the Switch won't be backwards compatible. --[[User:Thatguy62|Thatguy62]] ([[User talk:Thatguy62|talk]]) 16:09, 16 January 2017 (EST)
 ::::Sorry for coming late, since the Switch is based on a Tegra SOC (ARM CPU or Denver CPU, Geforce-based GPU) it cannot execute the games made for Wii U (PowerPC CPU, Radeon-based GPU), meaning that a port of them must be done.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 22:53, 18 January 2017 (EST)
+== Switch at Pax South ==
+I will be attending Pax South this Sunday to demo the Switch. What kind of information do we still need about the Switch and it's games which I can find out while I'm there?--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 17:05, 25 January 2017 (EST)
+:There are only two ''Mario'' games announced for the Switch so far, and only ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' will be playable, if I am not mistaken. I fear that they are reusing the demo version of the first events, which has limited options and no Miis, still I'd suggest to look both at the page of the game and at the page of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' so you can already guess what could be interesting to add to the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' page without adding redundant information (which is already in the page of ''Mario Kart 8''). Maybe the menus and the new elements in them aren't yet fully covered. Also, in the multiplayer mode of the demo version the stats button was missing, if in the single player mode it is possible to view the stats, this would be a good start to start adding information about the new characters and vehicle parts. I don't know if the event will be streamed as well and if more information about ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' will be revealed, in case you could take a few notes. Also, if you can have a look at the Home menu of the console (which I doubt it) or discover some information on the console not yet written here, you could take some notes about it too. By the look of it, however, these are preliminary versions of the OS, so I don't know how much can be inferred from the about the actual OS installed on the console.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 17:27, 25 January 2017 (EST)
+::I didn'y get any new info unfortunately, but I did get a bunch of photos of the switch setup area where they show off the different ways to play, which I've noticed in other videos of other switch demoing places. Will upload tomorrow.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 23:56, 29 January 2017 (EST)
+== Early footage of the Nintendo Switch's OS and more finally leaked! ==
+Guys, apparently a guy on NeoGAF who goes by "hiphoptherobot" apparently got his Nintendo Switch two weeks early yesterday on Wednesday, February 15, 2017!! And has posted a 2 minute and 56 second video of him showing off the Nintendo Switch's OS vid.me (which currently has 1,000,000+ views), and you may have to download the mp4 file in order to see. As well as unboxing it  on [http://www.floko.tv/video/1107255-exclusive-worlds-first-nintendo-switch-unboxing#.WKZv39wZHeQ Floko] (which currently has 865+ shares). You can also view the video on YouTube on [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpkBAobv7YgNQ7pPFYp_Ycw Dystify]'s channel (links below), which he claims he will take down soon and be posted on [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiTtOwrVkw5xkQFZ-LRIt-g FloKO (Paul Gandersman)]'s channel. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo forces him to take down his video, files a lawsuit, or something. But if hiphoptherobot really trolled us all, he made it extremely convincing for sure.
+But I sure hope some of this information comes in handy and can be used on the article.
+Things I've found, highlights:<br>
+) 0:49 You can choose from 12 profile icons, which includes; Yoshi, Bowser, Link's Sword, Zelda, a blue Pikmin, Samus Aran, Blathers, Celeste, Lime Green Inkling, Orange Inkling Squid, Fox McCloud's spaceship, and a Mii.<br>
+) 0:55 You can have an owner and a nickname for one's account.<br>
+) 1:05 I know this likely isn't new, but 8 users can be registered on a single Switch system.<br>
+) 1:16 The News applet, where I see something in the upper left corner on Mario holding what looks like a trophy and lots more.<br>
+) 1:29 A system update is required before preceding to the Nintendo eShop.<br>
+) 1:31 Album applet.<br>
+) 1:39 Controllers settings.<br>
+) 1:48 System Settings, where it shows it has a 25.9 GB internal memory and much more.<br>
+) 2:39 Sleep Mode.

+== Explain me this: ==
+Why do all the video game consoles' articles have their games' gallery sorted in alphabetical order yet Nintendo 3DS, Wii U and Nintendo Switch inexplicably have their games' gallery sorted by release date? This is a bit incongruent, we should use one consistent order for all consoles.

The consensus can change if the video game industry begins to place Switch clearly as a 9th gen console. --[[User:Alucard 16|Alucard 16]] ([[User talk:Alucard 16|talk]]) 10:19, 12 January 2019 (EST)
+== Outdated information detected ==
+The Joy-Con section appears to have grossly outdated information. In particular, the end of the first paragraph there states 'two games are currently set to release... 1-2-Switch... and ARMS'. Someone ought to get onto that (I can't do it because the page is protected). [[Special:Contributions/59.167.236.10|59.167.236.10]] 08:23, 10 September 2018 (EDT)

+=="Special" Versions?==
+According to the UK website, European users can get access to special versions of select games from Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online, how do any of you know that and what do they mean by special? [[User:DatGoodHomie|DatGoodHomie]] ([[User talk:DatGoodHomie|talk]]) 07:22, 16 September 2018 (EDT)
+:The webpage in that reference when I added it contained the full NES library lineup for Europe up until December 2018, but for some reason it's gone now. It also didn't really explain at all how the "special" versions would be different from the original versions, only tagging some of the games with "(SP)" and a note at the top saying "SP = Special version". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:36, 16 September 2018 (EDT)

+::It says that Switch and 3DS ''games'' are being distributed. That doesn't automatically mean the Switch was officially released there, as the way many people got the console at the time was in the grey market.
+[[User:WeirdEssential|WeirdEssential]] ([[User talk:WeirdEssential|talk]]) 07:49, September 24, 2020 (EDT)
+:::Exactly! I corrected the console's release date in Brazil with its respective reference. --[[User:PhGuy12|PhGuy12]] ([[User talk:PhGuy12|talk]]) 10:38, September 24, 2020 (EDT)

+== Is the 3DS a predecessor ==
+People have been repeatedly adding into this article and the 3DS article that the 3DS is apparently the Switch's predecessor alongside the Wii U, so I think it's time to actually discuss this. Are there any official sources that call the 3DS a predecessor for the Switch, or ones that don't? When I google it, all I see are forum pages which call it so. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}
+:Officially, the Nintendo Switch is mainly presented as a new type of device that can be considered the successor of the Wii U, with docked mode making it some kind of a home console; practically, the Lite revealed what we already knew: it’s a handheld console first and foremost, aiming at being a portable Wii U, as the game library shows. So in practical terms it’s a successor to both, officially it’s more of a successor of the Wii U, with it being initially marketed as a home console you can take around with you.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 10:13, October 2, 2020 (EDT)
+== 2 Minecrafts ==

+== Change from home to hybrid ==
+{{SettledTPP}}
+{{ProposalOutcome|failed|1-5}}
+I saw that Wikipedia and Bulbapedia have it classified as a hybrid console not a home console. I changed it just in case Wikipedia and Bulbapedia are right, but somebody reverted my edits. I wonder if it is an error? I'm going to make a proposal for the change just in case Wikipedia and Bulbapedia are right (which are most cases is). {{User:Teh Other/sig}}

+===Support===
+#{{User|Teh Other}} Per proposal
+===Oppose===
+#{{User|Hewer}} The way the article is right now already says that the Switch is a hybrid console but is marketed primarily as a home console, which I think is a perfect compromise. Also, as some general advice, "other wikis do it this way" is almost never a good argument because those wikis are completely separate from this one and have different rules.
+#{{User|Sdman213}} Per Hewer.
+#{{User|Swallow}} We shouldn't take word from other wikis.
+#{{User|Ray Trace}} Per all.
+#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per all.
+===Comments===
+Where in the article is it said definitively that the Switch is a home console? {{User:Hewer/sig}} 10:40, July 22, 2022 (EDT)
+:It's in the top section and the [[Nintendo Switch#Features|features section]]. {{User:Teh Other/sig}}
+::Both of those sections already say that the Switch is a hybrid console. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 11:52, July 22, 2022 (EDT)
+:::They're erroneously referred to as a home console despite being a hybrid. {{Unsigned|Teh Other}}
+Anybody else agree with some support that say that the Nintendo Switch is both a home console and a handheld console? {{User:Teh Other/sig}}
+:I'd like to see the reasoning for the definitions made in Wikipedia and Bulbapedia; that they are simply present in those two wikis shouldn't necessarily mean we adopt them. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 17:30, July 22, 2022 (EDT)
+::@Teh Other There is a source in the opening paragraph which calls it a home console, which Nintendo seems to primarily market it as. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 19:06, July 22, 2022 (EDT)
+== Split the "Nintendo Switch Online" section into this page and the "Nintendo Switch Online" article ==

+{{ProposalOutcome|passed|12-0|Split}}
+I think the Nintendo Switch Online section may be way too long. In this case, perhaps there's a possibility to split this page's "Nintendo Switch Online" section to the following: [[Nintendo Switch]], [[Nintendo Switch Online]].

+:I find myself having to link to it enough that I think it's worth it. It definitely qualifies as relevant to Mario, being necessary for online play in Mario games for the Switch, plus the [[Booster Course Pass]] is part of the Expansion Pack, and there's the various Mario games featured in its retro game libraries (which admittedly do have their own pages but it's good to have something to link to every time we say such and such is exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online and/or the Expansion Pack). Compare [[Nintendo eShop]] and the [[Virtual Console]], for example. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 16:41, July 30, 2023 (EDT)
