The Switch was released worldwide on March 3, 2017. Initially, stores got limited quantities of the system, which caused it to be sold out for the first few months of it's lifespan. However, by Christmas 2017, the system was widely available. There were problems with some systems cracking and bending due to heat, as well as the battery life being short. In August 2019, Nintendo would begin using a different type of battery with the Switch. | The Switch was released worldwide on March 3, 2017.
