Santa Nintendo Sent us an Amazing Box of Gifts

1 Comment

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.

I have been reviewing Loot Crates ever since they launched and I am really impressed with how much they have done in such a short time. Each new crate ramps up the awesome! Well, I am super excited to hear about this partnership between Nintendo and Loot Crate to offer subscriptions for Looters to get 10 different amiibo characters in a special subscription. I’ve been hearing a lot about these figures and how they will work with some upcoming games. I love that the technology for this is already built into the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS and there is nothing more to buy than the figures or the games because you use your existing equipment. It is so cool that this was already built into the hardware, talk about planning for the future.
