"Nintendo Switch Sports" is a collection of one and multi-player games, including golf, soccer, volleyball, bowling, tennis, badminton and Shambara (swordplay) that can be played with friends or family members looking for some light-hearted competition. These games make full use of Nintendo's unique Joy-Con controllers and are suitable for players over the age of 10.

The physical copy of the game (as opposed to the digital download copy) comes with a leg strap accessory that can be used when playing the soccer game.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons: £50 (13% off)

While challenging, it's more of a lighthearted game to play. It offers hundreds of hours' worth of unique gameplay and is an original and fun game. We highly recommend it for adults.

There are no winners, no losers and no high scores to beat. Instead, this is a highly interactive simulation game. The player controls a character that they choose and customize as they establish residence on a beautiful and serene tropical island. They must build and customize their home, help landscape the island and build additional places that will attract more resistant.

Mario Party Superstars: £50 (17% off)

The "Mario Party" game franchise has been around for a while, and it continues to be popular amongst gamers of all ages -- especially when it's played with a group of people. This Switch version of the game offers redesigned versions of five classic boards from the original Nintendo 64 version of the game, along with more than 100 mini games.

"Mario Party Superstars" is a family-friendly game that allows players to interact and have fun together. The game can be played locally or online via Nintendo Switch Online.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe: £41 (31% off)

If you're looking for an absolutely adorable and upbeat game that's suitable for younger players, we recommend "Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe." This is a one to four player game that offers a collaborative adventure. In addition to the main adventure, the player will discover a variety of special sub-games and interactive challenges.

The main goal is to explore, locate the missing parts of Magolor's ship and help him put it all back together. Along the way, there are plenty of enemies to outsmart and defeat, plus obstacles and challenges to overcome. One cool feature is that as Kirby encounters different types of enemies, he can mimic their attack moves and special abilities.

Pikmin 4: £52 (13% off)

One of the best things about the Nintendo Switch overall is the vast selection of family-friendly games that focus on whimsical and fun game play, as opposed to shooting, fighting, killing and world domination.

Another popular game franchise that falls into the family-friendly, fun for all ages category, is Pikmin. And this latest sequel for the Switch, called "Pikmin 4," encourages gamers over the age of 10 to grow, gather and then guide the small Pikmin creatures on a fun and whimsical expedition.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy: £51 (£9 off)

While it's not a new game, "Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy" takes gamers to three separate cities and follows three unique storylines. This one Switch game includes three remakes of original classics -- "Grand Theft Auto II," "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City," and "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas." All three classic games have been updated with some new graphic and lighting effects the allow then to fully tap the power of the Nintendo Switch.

This is one of the few games available for the Nintendo Switch that carries an M rating, meaning it's for mature gamers only -- not kids under 17. After all, these three action games are chock full of violence and adult themes.

How much is a Nintendo Switch?

When shopping for a Nintendo Switch gaming console, there are four main system configuration options, each offered at a different price. Each configuration is also available in multiple color combinations. Here's a rundown of what sets each system configuration apart and how much each will typically cost.

Classic Nintendo Switch with Joy-Con: (£299)

This version of the Switch has a built in 6.2-inch LCD touchscreen and is battery powered, so there are several ways to play games on it. The console can be connected to any TV via a supplied HDMI cable, or the system can be taken out of the dock and played in handheld mode. There's also a tabletop mode that allows the Switch to be removed from the dock, placed on a table (where it's held up using a built in kickstand) and then played by up to four players (each using a separate controller) without needing a television or monitor.

Nintendo Switch OLED model: (£349)

The Nintendo Switch OLED model is a newer version of the classic Nintendo Switch. The two versions of the system have all of the same core functions. Both have the handheld mode, tabletop mode and console (TV) mode. However, the OLED version has an integrated seven-inch OLED touchscreen, so it's able to display sharper, more colorful and more detailed graphics on a slightly larger display.

Nintendo Switch Lite: (£199)

With a suggested retail price of £199, the Nintendo Switch Lite is the least expensive version of the Nintendo Switch. The main difference is that this version can only be played in handheld mode. There's no dock, so it can't connect to a TV, and there's no tabletop mode. Instead of using Joy-Con controllers, the Switch Lite has controller buttons built directly into the handheld system.

Nintendo Switch bundles and special editions

Over the years, Nintendo has released special, limited-edition versions of the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED. Some special-edition versions of the Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch OLED model have also been released as a bundle, in conjunction with a popular game.
