Nintendo has been so good to our family this year. They have sent us so many fun games this past year and then out of the blue they sent us an amazing gift pack filled with the latest Nintendo products for the holiday season. You can find the latest gift ideas at happyholidays.nintendo.com We are more than happy to test them out and tell you all about them. Opinions are our own.

The gift pack contained a sampling of so many different options for family fun. If you are into STEM then the Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit. The family that smashes together stays together with the all new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. There are so many amazing characters to pick as fighters in this game. And speaking of characters, your favorite Nintendo characters are all together having a party in Super Mario Party for the Nintendo Switch. And for those aspiring Pokemon trainers in your family there is the all new Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! + Poké Ball Plus Pack. The coolest thing about this game is that the players can use the Poké ball for real world game play.

The gift box also included a copy of the Super Mario Kart Monopoly, a Super Mario Kart Christmas ornament and even some Christmas papercrafts. And that wasn’t all, we even received a Nintendo eShop $20 gift card which I’ll be using toward either Mario Kart 8 so I can use the steering wheel and gas pedal from the Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit or maybe the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass so I can unlock additional DLC levels and fighters. I opened the box myself early and then resealed it so that I could reopen with the kids. They were thrilled as you can see in the video below.

More about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the biggest and best version of the series out. There are over 70 new and returning characters from over 30 video game franchises in the game. There are over 100 stages to battle on. Each of those stages has a battle and a final destination version that brings more variety to the game. In a series first you can use Stage Morph to transform the battle stage to another right in the middle of the fight. To make things even more interesting you can equip and level up spirits in the game to power up your character and receive special abilities. There is even more to the game and so many things to discover. I cannot tell you everything about the game as I have not gotten a chance to play yet but we will be battling and smashing our way through the stages soon.
