Music/Sounds: None.

(October 20, 2016-)


Logo: On a red background, we see the words "NINTENDO SWITCH" stacked, like this: N I N T E N D O SWITCH "SWITCH" is bigger in font size. We also see two stylized Joy-Con beside each other. The left one is outlined, the right one is filled. Then, the right Joy-Con settles itself to be in line with the left one.

Variants:
 * When the console is turned on for the first time, the animation plays as normal, but after that the screen zooms into between the Joy-Con as they split apart and the screen fades to white.
 * When the console is powered on from fully turning off, the logo is simply seen still, white on a black background.
 * When a game is started from the menu, a black screen is shown with the Nintendo logo in white in the top-left corner, and the Nintendo Switch logo in the bottom-right, except the Joy-Con are to the left of the console name. The right Joy-Con lifts up and falls down again, causing the letters of "SWITCH" to spin.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A "click"/"snap" sound when the Joy-Con become aligned, mimicking the sound of the Joy-Con being connected to the console.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On the first time boot-up variant, a cheery tune plays, with a drumroll-like beat as the zoom occurs.
 * For the other variants, none.

Availability: Current and very common.
 * First appeared on the reveal trailer for the console, and when the console starts up and is loading games.
 * Also seen on Switch game trailers and commercials.
