The Nintendo Switch is one of the world’s most popular gaming consoles.

Since its launch in 2017, it’s been commonly sold out – especially as Black Friday and Christmas approach.

Deals like this vanish quickly, so don’t be surprised if it’s gone soon.

The console is currently Nintendo’s top machine, and is known as a “hybrid”.

That’s because it can be used as a handheld machine, or plugged into your TV.

On either side of the Switch are detachable Joy-Con controllers that can be removed when your console is connected to a telly.

And the Joy-Cons even support motion-sensing, and can be split between two people for multiplayer.

Part of the Nintendo Switch’s huge success comes from its impressive roster of games.

Six Nintendo big-hitters in particular make up the bulk of sales:

  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
  • Super Mario Odyssey
  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
  • Pokémon Sword and Shield
  • Animal Crossing: New Horizons

So if you do manage to bag a Switch, consider buying one of those games to go with it.
