+Internal documents leaked in 2020 show that the Nintendo Switch originally started life as a successor to the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Codenamed "Project INDY" and co-developed with ST Microelectronics, this rendition would've been a more powerful version of the 3DS, retaining stereoscopic 3D support and a secondary touch screen while also incorporating new features such as Bluetooth and videotelephony support. Project INDY also featured the ability to wirelessly project game footage to a TV screen using the Miracast standard, acting as an early precursor to the Switch's hybrid model. In late 2014, Nintendo ended their partnership with ST Microelectronics, by which point the Switch's name had been finalized; its design at this point was revised to a single touchscreen like that seen in the final product.<ref>Rare Gaming Dump, March 13, 2022.

Satoru Iwata said that it was important to "take advantage" of the established architecture of the Wii U while developing a future system, because of the ability to use common ways to program a handheld display and a full-size television display. At the time, Iwata stated that Nintendo was aiming to change the situation of developing separate versions of games for both handheld and console versions. He expressed interest in developing new hardware using the common programming of Android software, which would help alleviate the time taken to port the same game between separate handheld and home console releases.<ref name="Third quarter report" />

 ==Trivia==
 *The Nintendo Switch is the first Nintendo console since the [[Nintendo GameCube]] to not be backwards-compatible with its [[Wii U|immediate predecessor]]. However, many games have instead been ported over to the Nintendo Switch.
+*The OLED model is the first Nintendo console to be released in the United Kingdom after {{wp|Brexit|its withdrawal from the European Union}}, which was finalized on January 31, 2020; the country had been a member of the EU and its predecessor group, the European Community, since 1973. Despite this, Nintendo UK's website still jointly serves the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, the latter of which remains an EU member.
+*''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' is the first ''Super Mario'' game to omit the ESRB rating from its box art for the Middle East and Southeast Asia version, while the first overall game to omit the rating is ''[[nwiki:Another Code: Recollection|Another Code: Recollection]]''. <ref>https://nintendosoup.com/all-first-party-nintendo-physical-games-in-southeast-asia-will-not-have-a-rating-on-the-cover-starting-from-another-code/</ref>
