I have always been a loyal Nintendo fan. As a child, I played hours on the Nintendo with my sister. Our favourite games were Super Mario Bros and Tetris.

Now that I’m a parent, it’s natural for me to share my love of Nintendo with my children.

We recently received the New Nintendo 2DS XL Mario Kart Bundle to test out and enjoy. I knew from the moment I opened the box that this system was going to be perfect for our youngest gamer.

You can purchase hard copies of the games or download them directly onto your device from the Nintendo eShop. You can also access many demo games in the eShop. My kids love this option as it allows them to test out a game before purchasing it.

  1. ooo this might be a great idea for my oldest daughter. she loves her tablet but has just started playing games on it similar to ones on a game console

  2. I think my daughter would love the two large screens. The fact that it’s light and includes cameras is a bonus!
