Think he'll notice?

What is it with the Nintendo Switch and cardboard-based clones? Not so long ago we reported on a story in which a Japanese child crafted his own Switch system out of stuff that would normally end up in the recycling bin, and now we've got another tale of industrious craftsmanship, again from the Land of the Rising Sun.

In this case, Twitter user @Mochikan1974 posted that his son was a fan of making paper craft mock-ups of devices he'd quite like to own. These ranged from a paper laptop to games consoles, and his most recent piece of work was a cardboard Switch, complete with colourful Joy-Con controllers.

Deciding that his offspring's resourcefulness was worthy of a reward, the doting dad pledged to surprise him with a real Switch system - but instead of simply handing over the console in its packaging, he cunningly placed it inside a cardboard outer casing made to look like his son's original creation.

The son's reaction? We're sure you can guess.

We're off to make a Ferrari out of plastic bottles, just in case anyone wants to treat us.
