Give the gift of joy without breaking the budget. This gift guide presents child-friendly Christmas presents from Nintendo.
Is Nintendo at the top of your child's wish list? Don't worry - you don't have to invest a fortune to fulfil their Christmas wish. With the Nintendo Switch Lite and matching child-friendly games, there's a great way to put a smile on the child's face (without breaking the bank compared to other consoles).
Why the Nintendo Switch (Lite)?
The Nintendo Switch Lite is a good choice for young gamers. Small, handy and specially developed for handheld mode - it is ideal for children's hands and on the go.
The Switch Classic, on the other hand, provides flexible gaming fun on the go in handheld mode or at home on the TV, but is a slightly larger investment.
For fans of Animal Crossing, the Nintendo Switch Lite is even available in a bundle with the game. It can also be combined with the practical Animal Crossing case with matching protective film. This keeps the Switch Lite well protected.
The matching game
Nintendo stands for variety and fun - especially when it comes to games. Here are a few child-friendly highlights (outside of the Mario universe) that are guaranteed to make eyes light up:
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players create their own island paradise. They can build houses, decorate the island, plant gardens and interact with animal inhabitants. The game is calm and relaxing, ideal for children who like to be creative and design a virtual world according to their own ideas. The game encourages creativity and patience. There are no time limits or competition - children can discover and design the island at their own pace. It also offers the opportunity to invite friends and experience adventures together.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Whether you're a die-hard Pokémon fan or about to throw your very first Pokéball, Pokémon Legends: Z-A offers exciting adventures that encourage creativity and strategic thinking. In Illumina City, thrilling real-time battles, exciting tournaments such as the Z-A Royale and the fascinating Mega Evolution are waiting to be discovered. A game that is fun and stimulates the imagination at the same time.
Minecraft
"Minecraft" is a global classic in which players can let their imagination run wild in an open world. They build houses, explore caves, fight monsters and create impressive structures - all from small blocks. Minecraft is not just a game, but also a tool for creative learning. It offers different game modes, including survival mode (where resources must be collected and dangers overcome) and creative mode (where unlimited building blocks are available).
