Nintendo Switch

In plain words

Nintendo Switch is a gaming console that transforms between a stationary home system and a portable handheld device. The hybrid design allows players to switch between modes depending on where they want to play. It runs Nintendo games and connects to a television when docked, while the detachable controllers enable handheld and tabletop play on the go.
