The Ultimate Nintendo Holiday gift guide!
The SNES classic is such an amazing concept. It’s the cheapest console Nintendo sells right now and it’s probably the best value, too. This is number one on my personal wishlist this year :)
2. New Nintendo 3DS XL Retro Version
If you never got around to getting a 3DS, now is the time! It‘s arguably one of the best handheld consoles ever made. You could get a 2DS XL but the retro SNES version 3DS XL is available on amazon for around $180 right now. It’s one of the best looking 3DS versions out there and the price is really good, too. There‘s so many incredible games on the console and they‘re all relatively cheap by now. Bringing me to my next point...
You can get a ton if A+ 3DS titles for really cheap nowadays! Nintendo has started marketing some 3DS titles as classic editions for less than $20. Some of these include:
Zelda A Link Between Worlds (X)
Animal Crossing: New Leaf (X)
Luigis Mansion: Dark Moon (X)
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (X)
Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (X)
All of these titles are available on Amazon for 15 to 20 dollars right now. You can check out the full list on Amazon here. Personally, i have played all of the games listed above and would say they are still worth that price (Animal Crossing especially, you can easily get 80+ hours of gameplay out of that game!)
Other great titles around $30 include:
Luigis Mansion 3DS Remake
4. All the amazing Switch Games that came out so far!
If you or someone you know own a Nintendo Switch, getting one or two new games is a great option, of course. They are a little more pricey than the 3DS games but they‘re really really good! Some games I personally recommend are:
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (X)
Zelda: Breath of the Wild (X)
DK Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (X)
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (X)
Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee (X)
BTW there‘s also plenty of cheaper eshop titles you can have a lot of fun with! Some of my favorites are:
5. A Nintendo Switch (of course)
It‘s the most expensive item on the list by far, but i think almost everyone will get a lot of enjoyment out if this console. The fact that you can take AAA console games with you wherever you go is just a game changer for me. I recently spend 18h traveling from across the US to Frankfurt, German and the Switch basically saved me from going insane haha
Personally, I recommend on of the Mario Kart 8 Bundles. If you still got money to spare, getting the Mario Party + Joy-Con game bundle with your Switch is a good option, too. Can‘t really go wrong with an extra controller :)
