Nintendo has already introduced multiple iterations of their Switch gaming console, but their latest version of the Nintendo Switch is guaranteed to warm the heart!
Their newest Nintendo Switch, which is a collaboration with Starlight, is created for hospitals and healthcare centers and designed specifically to be easy to disinfect and clean.
The new gaming stations can roll anywhere in the hospital and keep kids entertained and distracted, which is especially important with many playrooms closed due to COVID-19.
The easily portable system comes in 4 different casings (Mario, Princess Peach, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong) and is pre-loaded with 25 games, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Maker 2, Super Mario Party, Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu, Super Mario Odyssey, Stardew Valley, Cuphead, and Minecraft.
The first units were recently received at Tacoma, Washington’s Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital.
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
Per Starlight: “Gaming delivers happiness to kids stuck in the hospital by providing entertainment and much-needed distraction from stressful situations. It can even provide emotional support, resulting in reduced anxiety and improved mood.”

Starlight and Nintendo have been collaborating on gaming stations for nearly 30 years. Together they have delivered over 7,000 various gaming stations to over 800 hospitals across the United States.
