Get Rid Of Those Back To School Blues- With Nintendo!

       

   



   " As September approaches and kids start heading back to school, Nintendo can’t help but get nostalgic. Do you remember the thrill in the air when September rolled around each year? Between shopping for new clothes and organizing school supplies, it was hard to resist getting swept up in all the fun. Unfortunately, all those joyful emotions can quickly fade away once school is back in session. As an adult, you can help kids realize that fun does not need to end once the school season starts. With new games like Super Mario Maker for the Wii U console and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer for the Nintendo 3DS portable family of systems available in September, kids can continue celebrating while flexing their creative muscles throughout the school year. Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition is a fun set of games available now that kids can look forward to playing during their ride to school!

                      Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. --Edition
Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition contains two huge puzzling RPG adventures to keep young brains active. And with the games playable on all the systems in the Nintendo 3DS family, kids will have fun playing the games on their way to school.

Mario Maker
Looking to sharpen your kids’ creative skills throughout the school year? Available on the 11th of September, Super Mario Maker for Wii U lets kids design new levels that they can share with friends, family members and even people around the world! In addition, nostalgic Nintendo fans will have fun playing alongside the kids in their life, as the game includes both modern and retro Mario styles.




Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
Kids will be able to explore their creativity on Sept. 25 with the release of Animal Crossing: Happy Home Edition. In the latest installment of the classic series, players can happily design the perfect houses (inside and out) for all their favorite Animal Crossing villagers. Every home can have a different look, from a game-themed bedroom to a water-themed living room – the sky's the limit! For added enjoyment, new amiibo cards let players add villagers into the game, each with his or her own design requests. Kids will also be able to collect and trade their favorite characters!"


  Remember the saying "All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy."?  Well it is never as true as when it comes to kids during the school year.  With all the work that is thrust upon them fun is even more important than ever!  Nintendo has always provided a way for kids to have fun while keeping their mind sharp-these titles are keeping true to that tradition!  I personally cannot wait to try out Mario Maker- this is one of the games I am most looking forward to playing with my kid- annnnnnnd by myself.  The RPG puzzle game: Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition helps the kids use their problem solving skills without even knowing it! While it keeps us adults up on our toes and our minds sharp!  Animal Crossing has a league of faithful followers that I am sure you are well aware of so this Happy Home Designer will be a must have for the kiddos and adults that have been following the franchise throughout the years!  Needless to say- I need all of these titles, and I am sure that your family will enjoy them as well!
