Router, switch and router switch?

For old nostalgia sake I watched the short animated film Warriors of the net (1999), describing the principles of networking technology in layman’s terms.

In the film they talk about the “router switch” as in a single separate device. Despite having worked with networking for several years, I can’t recall ever having anything to do with a router switch. I’ve had routers and switches but nothing “intermediate”.

Was or is this a real thing, or did the creators of the movie just confuse things?
