(2 Mario Games Included)

What is it?

The Nintendo Switch is a portable unit with a long lasting battery, providing hours of gaming fun in three modes: TV Mode, Tabletop Mode, Handheld Mode. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system can be taken on the go so players can enjoy a full home console experience anytime, anywhere. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system, with unprecedented new play styles brought to life by the two new Joy-Con controllers. The console has a range of 4.5 to 9+ hours of battery life per charge (vary depending on software usage conditions) and it connects over Wi-Fi for multiplayer gaming. One wireless pro controller has been included to give the option of three players to play at the same time in multiplayer games if you do not have other Switch friends online, such as Mariokart 8 Deluxe and Mario Party Superstars, which are also included in this game kit.
