 ===Language and region support===
-Nintendo Switch does not have region locking, similar to Nintendo handhelds prior to the [[Nintendo DSi]], and features enhanced language and region accessibility. The system can be changed to any of the nine languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, and Japanese. As of January 29, 2019, it can also be changed to Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.<ref name="language">Nintendo.
