We are happy to partner with Nintendo on this post, all opinions are our own.
Our girls love video games and growing up in a house where their dad has always played they’ve always gotten the new video game systems as they have come out. He’s always teaching them how to play and playing with them, games are another way to have fun with your kids. Our girls have always enjoyed the Nintendo DS and they year it’s all new Nintendo 3DS XL is bigger and better than ever! This is one gift that will be at the top of your kids wish list and our girls had so much fun opening this gift early.
The best thing about having a Nintendo DS is all the places you can go with it. It’s great for kids because it’s portable and there’s endless adventures to have no matter where you are. 
Even better is complete the ultimate gift this Christmas with the new game Mario Party Star Rush and amiibo characters. Did you know that now you can use amiibo on your Nintendo DS? 
Our girls are so excited about Mario Party Star Rush. In this game you can:
- Explore open maps across wildly different worlds in Toad Scramble, and recruit Mario™ character allies to your team
- Break free of turn order: all players plot strategies, roll the dice, and move… simultaneously!
- Play as Mario™ characters like Luigi™, Peach™, Daisy™, Wario™, Waluigi™, Donkey Kong™, Rosalina, Toadette, and Yoshi™ in various modes
- Race around a game board, competing in a rapid-fire minigame gauntlet while sabotaging your friends in Coinathlon
- Packed with fast, fun modes and minigames, this party offers something for everyone
- Join up to three* friends and enjoy multiplayer over Local Wireless or Download Play**
This is the ultimate fun for kids and I know this Christmas some the best gifts are from Nintendo. In addition to the game, new amiibo (character figures) have been introduced to take your gaming experience to the next level. Amiibo are game accessories that reward players with cool in-game “extras.” They are cute and easy to use – just tap an amiibo on the New Nintendo 3DS XL* screen to score new characters, game modes, and other bonuses. In Mario Party Star Rush specifically, you can use one of 7 new amiibo to immediately team up with Mushroom Kingdom allies.
You can find these and other great gifts on the Nintendo website.
My grandsons have recently gotten into Mario games and would love this!
We love playing the Nintendo video games and the Mario Party Star Rush is a good game to get for the Holidays. My kids would love this game!
