3 Reasons Your Kids Love The Nintendo Switch

When the Nintendo Switch was released in March 2017, people camped overnight outside of electronic stores to buy the console before it sold out. The gaming system generated a lot of hype, and so far, it’s lived up to everyone’s high expectations. But it also has another selling point that isn’t discussed as frequently –– and that’s its popularity with kids. If you have children, there’s a chance you’ve heard them talking about the Nintendo Switch –– according to Amazon, it’s one of the “most wished for” gifts on the Internet. GameTruck Chicago offers the Nintendo Switch at all of our mobile gaming parties, along with other gaming consoles like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. We’ve seen just how much kids love the Nintendo Switch, and we’re sharing what makes the system so lovable.

It’s Portable

Your kids are always on the move and don’t like to stay in one place for long, so it makes sense that they’re drawn to the Nintendo Switch. Other gaming systems stay in one place and are difficult to take with you, but the Nintendo Switch is designed for both at-home and on-the-go gaming. The Switch is perfect for kids for this reason.

It’s User-Friendly

User-friendliness is a good thing regardless of the product, but kids are looking for intuitivity when they’re playing video games. The Switch has been hailed for how easy it is to catch on, and the graphics and user experience are also top-notch.

It Has Awesome Games

The final reason that kids are begging to play the Nintendo Switch is probably the most important: There’s a huge selection of games. Even though the Switch is barely a year old, there have been hundreds of games released, with even more expected in 2018. If your child gets bored easily, the Switch is perfect –– it’s easy to pick a new game to play. It also has multiplayer offerings, which makes it fun for the whole family. Whether your child has a Nintendo Switch or hasn’t gotten a chance to play with one yet, GameTruck Chicago is the premier vendor for bringing all of their video game dreams to life.

Keep It Clean - GameTruck Hygiene Practices

Despite our best efforts, we all know kids can be kind of dirty. It’s hard when your young to fully understand the importance of washing your hands throughout the day. As much as we lecture our kids about germs, it’s not always effective. A snot-nosed kid is every parent's worst nightmare, and if one shows up to your party, it can be a breeding ground for germs.
