Nintendo Switch – the gaming console that has taken SA and the world by storm!

Looking for something amazing to gift to the techie in your life? Better make sure that the Nintendo Switch is in your loved one’s Christmas stocking this season! Despite having launched only in March, the console has already sold 10 million units worldwide – with a whopping 2.74-million of those units being shipped in the first month following its launch — making it the fastest-selling home console in Nintendo’s history. That’s saying a lot for one of the world’s most-loved gaming brands.

The Nintendo Switch is the first of its kind home console: it can be played on a TV and you can also take it anywhere. It’s a mobile unit that can be played on the go (perfect for those long car rides during the holidays). This allows players to experience their favourite games any time, any where and with anyone, making it the ultimate gift for all.

The launch of the new console was accompanied by some exciting new game titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which won three accolades at the 2017 Game Awards, including game of the year. Other exciting titles – such as Super Mario Odyssey, voted Best Family Game at the same awards – were released by Nintendo later in the year.

If these two aren’t your vibe, there are various other Nintendo Switch games to choose from. These include Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon 2. And remember, you can’t play these games anywhere else. They are Nintendo Switch exclusives (and who doesn’t love exclusivity?).
