The Nintendo Switch is the “it” gaming system right now. In April, the Switch was the best-selling video game system and sold 280,000 units beating out the Sony Playstation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One. This is no surprise since everybody wants one. One little boy wanted a Nintendo Switch and a dad came up with an awesome way to gift it to him.
Twitter user @mohikan1974 wants his children to use their imagination before they get swept up by gaming. So he encouraged his son to make a paper computer.

The sneaky dad was willing to give his son a Nintendo Switch he so desperately wanted, but it was cardboard.

But then the awesome father magically transformed that cardboard Nintendo Switch into a real one.

When his son was taking a bath, Mohikan put a real Switch into a cardboard one.
The father wrote, “I wonder when he’ll notice?”
I think the ecstatic little boy noticed.
