Nintendo Switch: history and collecting
Launched in 2017, the Nintendo Switch reinvented the console with a hybrid concept: a home system and a handheld in a single machine, with detachable Joy-Con controllers. The first Nintendo home console without region locking, it became a phenomenal success and, with more than 140 million units, one of the best-selling consoles ever.
Its library lines up monuments: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and its sequel The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Odyssey, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It also hosts sharper gems like Metroid Dread and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
For collectors, the Switch's trump card is its lack of region locking: you can gather editions from all over the world on a single console. Limited and collector's editions, along with small physical print runs, are becoming sought after, especially sealed. On RomWize, every Nintendo Switch game is retested and re-rated for 2026, with its rarity index and collector value (loose, complete and new) by region, to spot the gems in a huge library.
