Crossword Genius

Chic nurse no hugs console (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nintendo

'console' is the definition.
(games console)

'chic nurse no hugs' is the wordplay.
'chic' becomes 'in'.
'nurse' becomes 'tend' (I've seen this before).
'hugs' indicates putting letters inside.
'in'+'tend'='intend'
'intend' going into 'no' is 'NINTENDO'.

(Other definitions for nintendo that I've seen before include "People behind Mario" , "Console producer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
