For BBC Children in Need, with the date, time and channel.<\/p>\n<p>Starting all the way back in 1980, Children in Need has adapted how they raise money over the decades, and with video games becoming more popular than ever, it\u2019s no surprise that they\u2019re incorporating them in a major way this time out.<\/p>\n<p>Each year has seen gaming revenue skyrocket, too, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/nintendo-switch-next-console-newsupdate\/\">Nintendo reporting record sales<\/a> \u2013 and it\u2019s not uncommon these days for games to cost nigh on one hundred pounds, so it\u2019s safe to say a lot of us can probably spare a few quid to collectively help vulnerable children up and down the country.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you can\u2019t stretch to donating, the event will offer a lot of feel-good fun with plenty of laughs, so read on to see who will make an appearance on Game On!
