Nintendo Switch Parental Controls

13/01/2017

News of Nintendo's new gaming console is now revealed. Its new Nintendo Switch offers both Tablet and Console gameplay in the home and out and about. But as well as all the new ways to play favourite Nintendo characters the console has an innovative new Nintendo Switch Parental Control app.

This not only allows you to see how your children are playing the Switch -- which games they play and for how long -- but it also has a time limit feature. You can set this and then get the system to pause after a certain amount of play each day.

This is a great way to offer parents more control of how their family plays but also encourages them to understand which games children like and spend time playing together.

The Nintendo Switch launches in March for £279.99.
