The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid handheld/home game console released by Nintendo in 2017.

Multiple revisions of the Switch have been released - out of them, only the original "Erista" models made before July 2018 are currently hackable. Other patched Erista models may use the software method "Caffeine" if they run on versions 4.0.0 to 4.1.0.

== Models ==
The current released models of the switch are:

* "Erista" (original switch)
** "Erista" systems manufactured before June 2018 are vulnerable to the [[Switch:Fusee Gelee|Fusee Gelee]] exploit, and are generally refered to as "unpatched"
** "Erista" systems manufactured after June 2018 cannot be hacked at this time (unless they run on versions 4.0.0-4.1.0 with the method Caffeine)
* "Mariko" ("redbox" switch)
** "Mariko" systems feature a new SOC, which allows them to run cooler, and have a longer battery life
** "Mariko" systems cannot be hacked at this time
* Switch Lite
** The Switch Lite is a budget model, without TV output, detachable joycons, and with several features removed.
** The Switch Lite cannot be hacked at this time
* OLED model ("Aula")
** The Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) is identical to the "Mariko" systems, but features a larger, OLED display, expanded internal storage, an improved kickstand and improved speakers
** The Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) cannot be hacked at this time
