If you're heading back to school, college, or university next month, why not make life a bit more fun by getting a Nintendo Switch, the much-hyped console that everyone wanted to get their hands on during lockdown. The rush meant that stocks quickly ran out, but Nintendo has been hard at work and retailers in the UK are now re-stocked, at least for now...

The Switch is basically the perfect console: fun, rewarding, with just the right amount of challenge. If you want to spend hours shooting zombies or decimating civilians, this isn't the console for you. However, it is the console for spending hours collecting items (Animal Crossing), racing in whacky landscapes (Mario Kart), battling other people (Pokémon), and so much more.
In our Nintendo Switch review, we found this was basically as good as it gets for the more casual gamers amongst us, with a unique experience that blends serious gaming with lighthearted fun in a way that no other console we've used does (at least not one from Nintendo). The design is stylish and feels premium, it's quite cheap, and the games are amazing.
If you haven't got it by now, we absolutely love the Switch and highly recommend it either as your only console or as a accompaniment to others. Animal Crossing by day, Call of Duty by night, we say. Casual gaming is definitely the way forward.
