Just In Time For The Holidays, Nintendo Release Calendar
Nintendo is not just for kids. I attended a Nintendo#3DSNotJustForKids Holiday Preview event and had a blast playing the new games. I have not played a handheld game in years. I have watched my kids play over the years.
My son already has the New Nintendo 3DS XL. A few nights ago I found my son’s 3DS on the couch when he should have been reading. He did not think to hide it or turn it off. I find myself yelling at him to put it away or telling him to give to me. While attending this event I quickly understand why he does these crazy things. These games are fun!
I am not kidding when I tried the new games I was hooked. I actually won playing against some other people. I have to admit did gloat a bit. My competitive side instantly kicked in when I played these games:
- Mario Party Star Rush – Releasing November 4
- Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon – Releasing November 18
- Super Mario Maker for 3DS – Releasing December 2
Mario Party Star Rush
Think fast and have a blast with a variety of ways to party with Mario, Toad and more in Mario Party Star Rush! The game features seven modes, including Toad Scramble, a mode with open maps to push your strategy, fast-paced mini-game gantlet Coinathon or Mario Shuffle, in which players maneuver three pieces to their opponent’s side of the board. In Toad Scramble, everyone plays as a Toad, but Mushroom Kingdom allies are waiting around the board to team up and take down bosses in mini-games. The game is also compatible with the Super Mario series amiibo figures. The game releases alongside seven new amiibo for purchase separately, including Daisy, Waluigi and glow-in-the-dark Boo.

Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS
Now Nintendo 3DS owners will have access to a near-unlimited wealth of Super Mario courses to play! In Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, plays can also create courses with nearly all the tools available in the original Wii U version, along with interactive lessons. In a feature unique to the Nintendo3DS version, friends who each have their own game and system can collaborate on level designs by sharing them with one another locally before they’re complete. While courses can’t be shared online, players can connect to the internet to download and play select courses from the Wii U version. Additionally, the game includes 100 Nintendo-designed courses with new challenges, like collecting every coin or defeating all enemies.
