The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid handheld/home game console released by Nintendo in 2017.
{{Warning|text=Using FTPiiU Everywhere on Tiramisu is NOT recommended, as it has been known to cause bricks}}
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.
The current recommended setup is [[Switch:Hekate|Hekate]] + [[Switch:Atmosphere|Atmosphère]].
