Today Nintendo confirmed the official distribution of the Nintendo Switch system in the Brazilian market on September 18th, 2020. Nintendo Switch is a unique home video game system that has sold more than 61 million units around the world since its release in March 2017. Nintendo hopes people in Brazil will enjoy the full home-console experience anytime, anywhere. Nintendo Switch not only connects to a TV at home, but it also instantly transforms into tabletop mode for sharing the fun, and on-the-go handheld mode to take the system anywhere.
