 ====== Nintendo Switch ======
-Nintendo's most recent console, and one of their best performing ones. Releasing on March 3rd, 2017 across much of the world, the Nintendo Switch may not be very powerful with hardware, but it's "hybrid" gimmick of being both a portable and home console has made it a sales winner. In hardware, the Switch contains a 1280x720 capacitive touchscreen, 32 (or 64 on OLED) GB of internal memory, 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and 4 ARM Cortex cores within it's Nvidia Tegra X1 system on a chip. Of course, these specifications are certainly still capable of running a lot, which is why it has already sold 92 million units despite being in "the middle" of it's life cycle, according to Nintendo themselves, and that figure is from right after the launch of the OLED variant in September of 2021.

+The original Switch, and thus far, the only Switch that can be conceivably hacked without significant difficulty. Earlier revisions of this system (HAC-001) are hackable without a modchip, while later revisions of this system (HAC-001(-01)) are unhackable without a modchip. In other features, this Switch, being the original model, has the usual setup of a non-OLED 6.2" screen, 32 GB of internal memory, and so on. Usual Switch functions.

+A Switch that has been shrunken down and turned into a portable-only system. Obviously, many changes come with this change in form factor, including the lack of detachable joycons, the inability to dock, a smaller screen and general form factor, and a longer battery life despite the lower capacity. Of course, like later revision "Classic" Switches, the Lite is unhackable without a modchip.

+Touted as a hardware upgrade, the OLED Switch barely qualifies as a proper “version” instead of a revision. It's primary feature, as stated in the name, is the inclusion of an OLED screen, which is also a bit larger than the original model. Alongside this, the OLED Switch has 64 GB instead of 32 GB internal memory, a better kickstand, better speakers, and an improved dock that has a LAN port. Otherwise, functions are the same including the inability to hack without a modchip.

+Otherwise known as Switches that are "unpatched". In the realm of raw features, the HAC-001 only differs from the 001(-01) in it's battery life, which is of a slightly lower capacity. However, when it comes to EOPs, the -001 is drastically different in that it is the only Switch model that has the potential to be hacked without a modchip. For more information, simply check https://ismyswitchpatched.com/ - determining if a system is patched usually requires only a serial number.
+=== “Switch V2 (HAC-001(-01))” (2019-2021?) ===
+Otherwise known as "patched" Switches. In hardware features, the HAC-001(-01) has a higher capacity battery than it's revision predecessor. However, as already stated in the previous entry, this revision cannot be hacked in any way (as of 2022) without a modchip. Basically, if you want EOPs, don't get this one.
