Found this on my Facebook feed.

Can’t afford a switch but your kid is bugging you to get one?

Nintendo Switches are now available at all three branches of the Marion Library Services!

The Nintendo Switch is a dedicated handheld gaming device. Ours are preloaded with new games, like Mario Kart 8 and Super Marion Odyssey as well as the classics, like Donkey Kong Country and Super Marion World, and can be used in the library.

Bring the kids in for a visit and ask at the desk to borrow a Nintendo Switch.

Membership is required but free to sign up on the day

    How many are available? Might take the kids here for an easy cheap fun day they love Minecraft

      Get a Xbox 360 off failbook for $50?

      • stickyfingers on 16/01/2021 - 23:45

        $50! You’re overpaying.

      • Bootyborne on 17/01/2021 - 08:55

        That would involve unnecessary costs this is pretty much next to free

    I like the idea, but the timing of it in the current state of the world seems a bit foolish..

  • SF3 on 16/01/2021 - 19:48

    How do they do covid safe?

    Super Marion World

    Nothing super about it

      Wait, this isn't JV because there's no random bolded words.

      Pretty funny pickup, especially for someone living interstate, but if you live in Adelaide you would know about 'Marion', which had the biggest cinema complex in the world, massively popular nightclubs, Olympic sized aquatic centre with waterslides etc… so I reckon it IS pretty super.

        but if you live in Adelaide

        Never heard of it!

        Good on the council to spend money on games during a covid pandemic and focus on other important issues like cats and shopping trolleys

      • Forfiet on 17/01/2021 - 08:33

        Massively popular nightclubs? Do those places exist anymore?

    Is this really how they promote their services? I can think of many other reasons a parent wouldn’t want to but their kids a gaming console (but would be happy for them to play a few games at the local library).

    -snip- Now you'll never know what I said :)

    Can't afford a Switch? Stand in your local EB Games and play the display console!

    • silverrat23 on 17/01/2021 - 07:39

      Ummm, it's been 10 or so years since they've had a playable display console.

      • pharcyde on 17/01/2021 - 15:41

        No way! Definitely not recently but I remember them at least a couple years ago.

    Whatever happened to vicariously enjoying games by standing around an arcade machine watching someone else play?
    Kids these days….

      That's what Twitch is there for. Well, at least half of it.

    It's free so not a deal?

    • Nukkels on 17/01/2021 - 10:07

      They're not free at EB, so this definitely seems like a deal for some people.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 17/01/2021 - 10:20

    My local library tried this in late 2017…except with 3DS units right when the last people who did care about 3DS stopped caring, and then wondered why no one turned up.
