Gadget and Tech Gifts for Tweens and Teens
Nintendo Switch
Was €329.99 NOW €299.99 Suitable for ages 6+
The Nintendo Switch is designed to go wherever you do. With the ability to transform between a home console and a portable system, the Switch lets you play your favourite games for longer.
Connect the HDMI cable to your TV to enjoy a traditional console gaming experience, or prop up the stand attached to the back of the device to play games on its built-in screen. When the time comes to leave the house, you can carry on gaming by attaching the twin Joy-Con controllers to the console and using the 6.2″ screen.
The Nintendo Switch comes with 32 GB of internal memory for all of your gaming needs. This can easily be expanded, using microSDHC or microSDXC cards to add storage space to suit your needs.
This new version of the Nintendo Switch has all the same great features of the original Switch, just with a much longer battery life. Depending on your game, you’ll get from 4.5 to 9 hours of battery. Now when you’re stuck on long journeys, you’ll have even more gaming time.

The new display is a single-panel LCD screen that gives you up to 50% more pixels than the original Quest. And thanks to 3D cinematic audio, you’ll hear exactly where the enemy is approaching from.
The Meta Quest 2 lets you share more than ever – with live casting you can show your friends your VR experiences, or meet up with friends in virtual worlds for multiplayer battles.
And if you want, you can even connect your VR headset to a gaming PC with a Link cable to access hundreds of PC VR games and experiences.
