All Nintendo Switch Launch Units Will Come With a Dock — Rumor

The source that leaked the Nintendo Switch reveal trailer date has told LetsPlayVideoGames that all Nintendo Switch launch consoles worldwide will come bundled with the Dock.

According to our source, Nintendo wants to launch the Switch with a clear focus on the hybrid nature of the device core to marketing. While a handheld-only package may come down the line, at launch all bundles of the system will include a dock as to not confuse branding around the name. Nintendo considered internally the idea of selling the handheld portion separately, but had concerns that consumers who purchased the handheld without the dock may still think they could connect it to the TV.

This should be treated as a rumor until an official announcement is made.


The Nintendo Switch launches in March 2017.
