Nintendo Switch is coming to an end – at least in Europe.

Today, it was announced that Nintendo will no longer be selling the system to retailers starting in mid-February 2027. The same goes for the official Nintendo Store. The move applies to the original Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED.

Here’s the full notice:

From mid-February 2027, almost ten years after Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017, Nintendo will no longer sell to retailers hardware in the Nintendo Switch family of systems – specifically Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch – OLED Model. Sales of Nintendo Switch hardware on Nintendo Store will also end in mid-February 2027.

Regarding availability at retail, please check with your local retailers in the future for more information. Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of games that continues to grow, and Nintendo Switch owners can continue to enjoy all their existing Nintendo games and accessories. Nintendo Switch Online and other services will all continue for the foreseeable future.”

Right now it’s unclear what the plan is for other regions. So far we haven’t heard about similar moves for North America and Japan, for example.

Today’s news was included as part of a different announcement in which Nintendo is gearing up for revisions of various products affecting Switch 2 and more, which will allow for a user-replaceable battery. We have more on that here.
