Untoz Gaming understands that Nintendo is preparing to discontinue its initial Switch console models specifically within the European region. This decision surfaces as the popular handheld and home console hybrid nears its tenth anniversary, marking a significant transition for the platform. Its withdrawal from the European market will occur just shy of a decade after its initial launch.
While the successor, the Nintendo Switch 2, made its debut in 2025, the original Switch hardware has continued to be actively produced globally until now. However, an official announcement from Nintendo confirms that the base Switch console, the Switch Lite, and other related versions will soon cease production for sale in Europe. This effectively brings an end to the original platform’s availability in the region. This report is based on information initially shared by GameSpot.
