Competition: Spreading The Nintendo Switch Love With This Fantastic UK Giveaway
Consoles, games, accessories, the lot!
You may remember that last Christmas we had a very special competition where one kind soul donated some amazing Pokemon prizes in the spirit of the festive season.
To celebrate the impressive launch of Nintendo Switch earlier this month that very same kind soul has decided to spread yet more love and generosity, out of his own pocket, with another giveaway to you the UK readers of Nintendo Life.
We all know it's fairly difficult to get your hands on the console in the UK at the moment for a sensible price, so we're absolutely blown away by the gesture and invite you to think about putting others before yourself with these prizes. Is there someone you know that deserves a Nintendo Switch as a very special surprise?
We've got two different bundles to give away:
1st Prize: Nintendo Switch Console (Grey), Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Switch Pro Controller, Joy-Con Pair (Grey), Official Carry Case and a 128GB SD Card.
2nd Prize: Nintendo Switch Console (Grey), Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Joy-Con Pair (Neon) and a Joy-Con Charging Grip.
That's a huge amount of prizes. We'd like to once again thank the reader in question for their kindness and share their sentiment in making this competition about family, friends and those in need.
~ Nintendo Life Team

Somene is being very generous. I know my hard working wife would appreciate a unit for when she is away...or maybe my little sister who fell in love with mine when I was there over the weekend.
Either or, money is tight, so maybe for Xmas XDMay the best kid and/or squid win
Thanks for this, it's really cool Good luck everybody!
The guy donating all these sweet prizes is the real MVP! good luck to all.
Good luck to all
As I think (I hope!) I said last time with the Pokemon giveaway, this person is absolutely incredible; I'm struggling to come up with something eloquent enough to say, so I hope thank you will do! Obviously I'd love to win (I can't afford a Switch at the moment but would absolutely love one) but whoever wins it, I hope they enjoy it, this person is going to make a few people lives that much better!
"invite you to think about putting others before yourself with these prizes."
If I'm going to put others before myself financially, it'll be to help alleviate starvation not give away consoles.
Good luck everyone it's very exciting 🎮👍
Some great people out there! Good luck all.
Entered, know a few people who'd like this. Although I don't think you guys ever say who won. So I'm always left wondering lol.
@UK-Nintendo @KJW90 @IfritXXII @spinalzombie @Moon
Thank you for reminding me why I love this website
Good luck guys!
I already have my Nintendo Switch but I'm entering on the off chance that I can pass one of the prizes over to my friend who'd love to get one but just can't afford to buy one himself. So giving him one would probably make his year.
Thanks so much for giving us all this chance, kind stranger. You're obviously going to make someone very happy with this.
My kids would appreciate it. My oldest is desperate to play Splatoon 2.
Entered, though I may prefer the second prize cos of the Neon controllers.
Many thanks and good luck everyone.
Worth a shot, thanks for the opportunity good luck everyone!
This person is definitely an inspiration...
& best of luck to all!
Good luck everyone! Absolutely incredible generosity from a reader out there - something we could really do with seeing more of these days.
Oh wow! Can't afford to buy my own and desperately want to play Breath Of The Wild
Who ever this person is, they are the paragon of generosity. Massive appreciation to this selfless act.
This person, I have no words but thank you.
What a generous person! This would be a wonderful prize!
That's... pretty incredible. All I can say is good luck to all, I hope the prizes go to a good home, and thanks for spreading some joy to whoever is behind this genuinely amazing gesture.
Whoever you are kind soul, you are a legend! Good luck to everyone entering.
That is a fantastic set of prizes. This is amazing generosity as others have said and reflects well on the community. Good luck everyone
So generous. My dad would love one as he hasn't got passed the wii and it helps his arthritic hands get exercise. Good luck everyone!
I could give it to my best friend or my favourite nephew.
Both would probably get the shock of their lives. XD
What a kind and lovely gesture. I would give it to my brother. He's going through an extremely difficult time at the moment and I know he'd love to play Breath of the Wild.
Amazing generosity again. Thank you, you anonymous gamey wizard, you. :3
This is amazing generosity and I thank you sincerely for your kindness
I took my 11 year old nephew to the nintendo preview event and he was treated abominably by the organisation there. In addition, he's never had a nintendo console in his life but is obsessed with Breath of the Wild and even his 14 year old sister is desperate for one and they know all about it. I have one already, and would love to introduce them to Nintendo and to multiplayer gaming. This would be awesome! Good luck anyway, to everyone who enters and thank you to the generous soul who donated the prizes.
I've nothing to lose, but so much to gain just from trying!
Wow that's very generous! Thank you to whoever this is! I entered!
Good Luck to everyone who entered!
Entered and grateful. Lovely gesture and shows the world is not as bad as the news makes you feel sometimes......Good luck all😁
I've yet to get one, despite my hype so I'm sold with this. Good luck to everyone!
Been watching the site for ages as a guest. Decided to sign up, for this... fingers crossed!!!
@EddieWu exactly same myself!
This is amazing giveaway thank you so much to whoever this generous person is and good luck everyone!
How very generous good luck to all who entered.
I already have a switch but if by chance I happened to win I have 2 younger cousins who would be thrilled with it so would happily pass it onto them
Amazing person and I think everyone whose entered is amazed by this gesture
Thank you kind reader and good luck everyone!
Wow. See; are some really nice folks out there... But then all you lot have always been a lovely crowd also! 😇🤗😉
Good luck everyone
And thanks for the kind soul who donated the gifts for the competion, it's a very generous thing to do.
It's nice to be nice
Awesome price and very generous indeed. thanks for the opportunity to enter.
good luck all and enjoy your journey across the great plateau .
All the best y'all
What a lovely person. God bless them for being so sweet.
Thanks, kind person!! You are truly a good person.
Thank you kind reader and good luck all!!
The answer is Eiji!!! Hahaha!!!
This is an amazing opportunity thank you very much, to whoever the unbelievably kind person is.
If I win a Switch, I'd give it to some kids charity.
Thank you very much to this kind soul. Although I know I won't win, it's nice that people are willing to give away sub precious items.
Who is this mystery person? Very generous!
Extremely kind of you Mr Prize giver lol. I already have a switch but I have entered as I have some friends who would absolutely love one.
Already have a Switch but have entered and will pledge to donate the console to Birmingham Children's Hospital should I be lucky enough to sim one.
This mystery reader must be living out some kind of Brewster's Millions scenario! Good luck everyone.
...Seriously though, whoever you are - I hope you're not putting yourself in financial difficulty.
@ottospooky Sure Jan
Good luck guys 👀
WOW what a kind gesture.... again! thank you
I'd love to win this for my partner. They've been through a lot and watching Let's Plays of Breath of the Wild has helped take their mind off of things.
Nice But I can see my chances, especially when there are a lot of people who wants to win.
Good luck everyone [ If I win it - finally my wife start to play with me. And this is a progress when it comes to playing console/pc games ]
Whoever this guy or girl is they're awesome for being so generous.
Good luck everyone!
Amazing that this reader is so generous in giving away a Nintendo Switch console, plus some accessories.
Good luck everyone!
Its amazing that someone in this day and age can be so generous, hope who ever wins doesn't just try and flip it. Like myself there are many out there who want a Switch but either can't afford one or have been unable to find in stores or online at the correct price.
Good luck everyone, again thank you to wonderful member of the community for this opportunity.
Thanks for the opportunity, the person who donated the switches is a saint
Good luck to all, the generosity of this reader is astounding.
Already got a Switch, so I'm entering on behalf of SpecialEffect. They'll be getting the prize if I win and they'll pass it on to one of the disabled gamers that they help. (Great charity, folks. Check 'em out at http://specialeffect.org.uk)
Also, very kind gesture from the person providing the prizes. Nicely done!
Finally created an account.
Massive thanks to the competition's sponsor!!! Amazing generosity to the NintendoLife community!!!
Good luck to all.
Good luck everyone! And once again, wow, the generosity of some people amazes me, hats off to you kind person!
I'm literally a born again Nintendo Fan with the Switch, why did I waste so much time away from this company! #NintendoLife
Thankyou for the competition, could you please make very sure nobody is making tons of duplicate accounts to win this? It wouldnt be fair if a non genuine account holder from the UK won this great prize.
I still have my wiiu. If I win this I will donate the wiiu to Scope.
Thanks
Amazing thanks a lot. Good luck.
I think the most incredible part of this is that the person is staying anonymous; such a great example of pure generosity.
A nice act of generosity.
Best of luck to all.
Good luck to everyone
Very cool. Good luck to all you lovely people.
This is the most generous give away prize I've seen, even bigger than when it's big brand giving away a switch so kudos and thanks the the reader whos giving them away
Just sent 1 entry in Best of luck everyone! Have not got a switch yet since I had to grow up and pay bills maybe here's a chance! for me and everyone! get your self entered as you just never know it might be you the lucky winner!
Best of luck my friends
Best of luck everyone
Sorry to have entered way too many times as it's accidental and would just love to have one as most of my friends have one and feel like missing out!
good luck to everyone, hope the winner has fun with thier prize <3
Does anybody know when the winner gets picked and then notified?
any idea when this will be announced? waiting anxiously!
Winners have been announced (scroll up to the main article), congratulations @S-C-G and @Toadsfriend!
@antdickens and I could not be happier! Truly over the moon that I'll now get to play Zelda. I really needed this boost.
Thank you so much kind person. God bless you
@antdickens well this is a nice surprise, I generally don't tend to win anything so thank you to the generous person who donated these prizes and thank you to Nintendo Life for hosting this competition.
My younger brother who is a huge Nintendo fan but doesn't have the money for a Switch right now will surely be delighted with this so thank you on his behalf as well.
Greatly appreciated.
And it has arrived today, thanks again to everyone involved in making this competition possible.
My younger brother said he'll likely claim ownership of it at a later date when there's more games on it he wants to play but until then it will mostly be a living room console for the whole family to enjoy, it will be nice to have another Switch dock so that I can use my Switch on the TV downstairs as well at times plus it will come in handy for trying out local multiplayer when Mario Kart 8 DX comes out.
@Toadsfriend I trust that you received your Switch in the post and that all is well? T-Toadsfriend...?
Probably playing Zelda as I type this, have fun!
@S-C-G I'm just home and the precious has arrived! I'm absolutely ecstatic and am unwrapping Zelda as I type so I can get started on my adventure
Good things hardly ever happen to me so I'm so pleased...thank you so much
If it's any consolation, the Switch has gone to a household which has a lot of love for Nintendo and it will certainly be put to good use.
I just entered the competition like everyone else, not actually expecting to win.
Though if it makes a difference, soon after launch I had a second Switch from a backup pre-order that I sent to someone so that they could enjoy the console earlier than anticipated and not worry about paying me anything until they have the money in a few months, interest free of course; I'd say that's in the spirit of things surely?
Anyway, I don't wish to point-score or cause any unrest but if I've caused any unwanted friction by entering this competition then I'm sorry for that but the console will be used to "Spread the Switch Love" as ultimately my younger brother will end up with the Switch when he decides to claim it - free of charge - which he likely wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise.
I don't see that this is any different than if he had entered the competition himself personally.
