Wishlist Wednesday: The BOYS Made me Pick This...

Now that the boys are getting a little older and their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination are improving, they're really starting to get into video games.  They'd LOVE to have a portable gaming system to take on the road or with them practically everywhere. They've both requested this Nintendo Switch

We have a Nintendo Wii and we play MarioKart quite a bit. They also both have a Kindle Fire with which they play all sorts of games and more importantly, do a lot of reading. 

However, they really want a Nintendo Switch.  In addition to providing single and Multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system can be taken on the go so players can enjoy a full home Console experience anytime, anywhere. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system, with unprecedented new play styles brought to life by the two new Joy-Con controllers.

At home the system rests in the Nintendo Switch dock, which lets you play with family and friends on a TV in the comfort of your living room. By simply lifting Nintendo Switch from the dock at any time, the system instantly transitions to handheld mode, and the same great gaming experience that was being enjoyed at home now travels with you. The portability of Nintendo Switch is enhanced by its 6.2-Inch screen, which displays bright, high-definition gameplay at the Park, on an airplane, in a car, or at a friend's apartment. 

Nintendo Switch comes with two Joy-Con controllers that can each act as a standalone controller with an analog stick, a full complement of face and shoulder buttons, built in motion-sensing technology and HD rumble. They can be inserted into a Joy-Con grip accessory to be used like a traditional Controller, held comfortably in each hand for independent left and right motion controls, or shared between two players for instant multiplayer gaming in front of the TV or out on the go.

This bundle includes the Nintendo Switch console, dock, Joy-Con (L) and Joy-Con (R), Two Joy-Con straps, One Joy-Con grip, HDMI cable, AC adapter, and a download code for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Of course, we'd have to get the MarioKart with it! 

Well, I think it's too expensive for us to get right now, but I'm hoping maybe we can save up enough money to get it for them for Christmas. Maybe the price will drop by then too. 

What's the most expensive present you've ever gotten?

Ahh... the things little kids want. REALLY WANT. Always so expensive of a tech gadget. I remember when the handheld Nintendo Game Boy came out and how everybody wanted one. I think my brother ended up saving up for months to get one for himself. Sounds like this is the new generation!

MarioKart would be so fun on here! I love how it can be played on the go or at home!

My husband and I set aside a little bit of cash each week until we had saved up enough for the switch and it was well worth the effort and wait. We love it! We've traveled with it, we've used it portably at home, on the tv, all of it. It's amazing!

My son has already said he wants one of these for Christmas LOL! Thanks for the review. It gave me a little more information about the Switch because I haven't really had a chance to look into the gaming system for myself.

This looks ideal for our upcoming road trip! It also gives me nostalgia for the little gameboys we used to have when I was younger.

The longer you wait, the lower the price will drop for sure! These would be great for long road trips.

My boys are asking for this too. I think it would be a fun gift. Just like you, I am planning to give this to them for Christmas. Hope we can save up enough.

With moms, I think everything is possible for the sake of our kids.
