Looking for some fun games to play with the kids? We have some suggestions.
Mario Kart is one of those games which turn a room full of strangers into a room full of new buddies- or at least rowdy racers. With equal parts skill, luck, and know how, Mario Kart has consistently been a gem of this gaming’s generation. The latest in the franchise, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, dare I say may be the brightest gem so far. With almost all characters unlocked to begin with, this game is built for multiplayer. As the new Switch will show you, it is easy to grab a controller and play. Each player takes the mini controller for their racer and plays.
With tons of characters to choose from, everyone can pick their favorite without arguments. Characters of different wights and sizes act differently and effect your controls, as do the type of vehicle and even the tires selected. The game also includes support for amiibo’s and amiibo cards, which unlock more content in game, allowing for even more customization. Mario Kart Deluxe 8 is available no for $59.99 from retail locations of via download fro the eShop.
We have two indie titles- one for the 3DS and one for the Playstation 4. Fun, inexpensive, and most gamers will enjoy them and be able to play (no master skill sets required).
This is the third Box Boy game in the line, Bye Bye Box Boy , is a game where players use the power of boxes to solve various puzzles as Qbby. This game is an enjoyable puzzle game which is simple to get into, but difficult to put down. My 9 year old has loved every Box Boy game and this is no different, but now with a few additions like 4 new powers, baby boxes to rescue, and new environmental issues to contend with (like water, wind, and scales) there is more to do. He enjoys the Box Boy series- it’s tough but not too tough for him to figure out after thinking about it and trying a few things, or in some cases, with some help from Dad. Bye By Box Boy is available now on the eShop on the Nintendo 3DS and retails for $4.99.
