:Can't believe I just found this place very awesome! I'm a regular editor over at Wikipedia and this was no error. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games/Archive_137#Nintendo_Switch_generation This discussion at WikiProject Video Games] is the consensus that Switch should be included as an 8th gen console. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Eighth_generation_of_video_game_consoles/Archive_4#A_possible_approach_to_the_Switch This discussion on the 8th gen talk page] triggered the wider WP:VG discussion which includes sources from reliable industry sources grouping Switch in the same generation as PS4 and Xbox One. 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)

=="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?

: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)

[[Super Mario 64 HD]], [[Super Mario Sunshine HD|Sunshine HD]], [[Super Mario Galaxy HD|Galaxy HD]] and [[Super Mario 3D World Deluxe|3D World Deluxe]] is available released in 2020. {{Unsigned|174.197.135.236}}

== About the Switch in Brazil ==
 
I think the release date of the Switch in Brazil should be changed, as it was released last Friday
 
Sources:https://www.tecmundo.com.br/voxel/190187-nintendo-switch-chega-oficialmente-brasil-sexta-18.htm (In Brazilian Portuguese) {{unsigned|WeirdEssential}}
:The reference currently there says the Switch released in 2017 in Brazil. I know Nintendo made the announcement of a Brazil Switch release recently, but what does our current reference actually say? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:23, September 23, 2020 (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.

:::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)

Should the infamous Joy-Con Drift controversy be somewhere in the article? [[User:CBFan5|CBFan5]] ([[User talk:CBFan5|talk]]) 14:21, January 10, 2021 (EST)
 
== 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)

== Change from home to hybrid ==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|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 ==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|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]].

#{{User|GuntherBB}} Per proposal
#{{User|Waluigi Time}} We already have [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and [[Nintendo Network]] split, and the NSO section is more substantial than the latter page. I don't see why not.
#{{User|DK Fan}} Switch Online has grown since launch.
#{{User|Windy}} Per Waluigi Time.
#{{User|Hewer}} Actually, per Waluigi Time, I didn't realise the previous online services were split and doing this makes sense for consistency.
#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Per all, especially Waluigi Time.
#{{User|ExoRosalina}} As agreed per Waluigi Time.
#{{User|Swallow}} Wasn't sure at first but since we have articles for similar things, may as well with this.
#{{User|PaperSplash}} Per all.
#{{User|The Eggo55}} Per all
#{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} Per all.
#{{User|Killer Moth}} Per all.
 
===Oppose===
<s>#{{User|Hewer}} I definitely don't think it's long enough to justify splitting on length alone, and there isn't any other reason to split it.</s>
 
===Comments===
I just have a broader question mark about the necessity of covering this service in detail. {{User:Mario/sig}} 20:53, July 29, 2023 (EDT)
: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)
