Today, Nintendo confirmed the official distribution of the Nintendo Switch system in the Brazilian market on September 18th, 2020. Nintendo Switch is a unique home video game system that has sold more than 61 million units around the world since its release in March 2017. Nintendo hopes people in Brazil will enjoy the full home-console experience anytime, anywhere.

Simultaneously, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and additional Joy-Con controllers in different color options will be available at the same retailers.
“When Nintendo Switch launches in Brazil this September, we hope it will help bring smiles to the faces of everyone who plays,” said Bill van Zyll, Director and General Manager of Latin America at Nintendo of America. “People of all ages will be able to enjoy the fun and social gaming that Nintendo Switch offers.”
The Nintendo Switch system in Brazil will come in two color options: Nintendo Switch with Gray Joy-Con and Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy-Con. Each system will come with the console, Joy-Con (L) and Joy-Con (R) controllers, a Joy-Con grip, a set of Joy-Con straps, a Nintendo Switch dock, an HDMI cable, an AC adaptor plug for Brazil and a quick-start insert in Brazilian Portuguese. Both versions will be at the same suggested retail price.
