Nintendo Giveaway

Being a tech family (and I often say we make no apologies for it) we’re happy to share a pretty awesome giveaway this holiday season from our friends at Nintendo. First, let’s see what’s hit the shelves lately for Nintendo DS (and possibly may land under your tree):

N3DS_PokemonSuperMysteryDungeon_Pack ShotPokémon Super Mystery Dungeon

Have you ever wanted to be a Pokémon in a world inhabited by nothing but other Pokémon? That’s the premise behind the fun new Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon game, now available for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. After choosing to play as one of 20 fan-favourite Pokémon, including Pikachu and Riolu, you embark on a journey to discover a mysterious force that is turning Legendary Pokémon into stone. In addition to being able to play as a Pokémon, the game features all 720 known Pokémon from every game in the series, including Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. How you discover or interact with these Pokémon is part of the fun!

As you journey through the game, you will enter a series of Mystery Dungeons with randomly generated interiors – meaning you will never play through the same dungeon twice! With the game’s near-infinite replay value, a new adventure awaits you around every corner.

The YO-KAI WATCH game is about hundreds of sometimes cute, sometimes spooky, and usually mischievous Yo-kai that inhabit our world. Yo-kai are not ghosts, monsters or creatures. Yo-kai are, quite simply, Yo-kai. They cannot be seen by the human eye, but they are everywhere. Whether born from the soul of a deceased human, or an everyday object discovering its higher purpose, their personalities are distinctly humanlike.

As you explore the world, use your Yo-kai Watch to find them, befriend them, and turn them into a team to battle other Yo-kai. Befriending new Yo-kai may not be so easy, though – in many cases, you will need to battle with them and impress them during your battle. Each Yo-kai has its own unique skills and strengths and you’ll use them to challenge the evil Yo-kai and help people in need of solving daily problems – like an argument with a friend or forgetting something important – which may be caused by mischievous Yo-kai hidden everywhere.

It’s admittedly a little ego-bruising when my eleven-year-old asks if I had one of the ‘very big and old’ Nintendo Game Boys that he’s seen online. We’ve come a long way in technology since the nineties, but Nintendo has remained a steady brand force among huge competition through the years.

What is New Nintendo 3DS XL? It’s Nintendo’s latest (and greatest!) portable gaming system, allowing gamers of all ages to play on-the-go. The New Nintendo 3DS XL can play all Nintendo 3DS games, plus nearly all games from previous systems such as Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi. And, some titles will be exclusively playable on the New Nintendo 3DS XL. What makes it great?

  • Face-tracking 3D immerses you in game worlds that you have to see to believe. Plus, you can take 3D photos, create 3D movies, and view AR Cards that bring characters to life.
  • Exclusive games. From Super Smash Bros.™ for Nintendo 3DS to Pokémon™, Animal Crossing™ to Metroid™, the Nintendo 3DS family of handheld systems are home to fan-favorites you can’t find anyplace else.
  • Entertainment when you want it. Watch your favorite videos and shows on YouTube™ or Netflix right on your system
  • Web browsing. Find game tips, news, or funny cat pictures on the Internet whenever you like with the built-in browser.
  • Free demos and more. Go shopping without leaving the couch. You’ll find the latest titles plus free demos and apps on Nintendo eShop—both on your device and on Nintendo.com.
