I heart Nintendo

  I am the kind of person that enjoys some "childish" fun. So, one day after work I stepped inside GameStop, I bought a Nintendo 2DS in crimson red with the Mario Kart 7 pre-installed, and the rest is history. My husband definitely questioned my judgement. He could not comprehend that although I have a MacBook Pro, an iPad Pro, a Nexus 6P, I wanted a Nintendo 2DS just to play games. I did not have Mario Kart 7 on those marvelous devices of mine!!! Come on!

  I know that everyone has a different point of view in life, sometimes you need a little something to spoil yourself after a long day at work... Sometimes you need some comfort after a person being rude to you. Playing games has taught me that you can have some fun even in the darkest of days. It's a fun escape from this world, but there's a catch: how much is too much? Do you avoid getting out of the house to play games? If you answer yes, it is a serious problem. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against gaming or any other kind of outlet someone has. It is important to relieve the stress, but everything should have a limit. Put a time limit to your gaming activities so your life will be a little brighter and not lost at all.

  With that being said, let me give you a few descriptions and links of three of my favorite games for my Nintendo 2DS and they are also compatible with the Nintendo 3DS:

  #1 Mario Kart 7 is a race game across land, sea, and air, and it's epic. It's also got a multiplayer mode so you can compete with your friends or other players across the world on online mode. You can also activate the streetpass for this title. You will find all the information about this on the link multiplayer.

  You can also built your own kart. You can built your own racing machine. You can unlock different styles as you move up in the Grand Prix and it's so much fun. And press the link karts for more info.

  What really amazed me while playing is the different power-ups. The power-ups can either give you a boost for your performance or you can sabotage your opponents/other players. But beware, other players can sabotage you as well. And here is the link for the different items and power-ups you will see in the game.

  Of course, you can choose your character. You can play as one of your favorite characters or your own Mii. Check the characters link to see the list. 

  All in all, this kart game is my favorite racing game. What makes this game really appealing to me, is the fact that it's a part of my childhood memories and it brings up a smile on my face whenever I play.

  And without further ado, let's move to my favorite game #2: Animal Crossing: New Leaf Welcome Amiibo (press here to see official info of the game), a game that I play literally every day. It's the amazing, charming, cute animal characters you meet, the customization of this world, a world that makes you feel close to nature, and the amiibo part of it is an excellent addition... No matter how much I want to describe it, it's hard for me to explain it. But I can and I will tell you this: if you like Sims, this is a lot better than any Sims you've played because you create yourself as the mayor of the town and you discover more and more as time passes by. (And BEWARE: One part that has frustrated some players is that you cannot change the name of the town after you create it, so make sure you are certain about it.) 

  What is also very fascinating, there are special events on special days. For example, on Easter Day, you have a Bunny Day on the game and you go on an Easter egg hunt. Each actual season has different features, for instance, it snows in winter. You can also design your own flag, clothes, or even download QR codes. Also, you can visit the villages of your friends that are also playing this game.

  And last but not least, my favorite game #3: Poochy & Yoshy's Woolly World. (Press the link please.) Everyone who has played a Yoshi game before, knows what I am talking about. It's a classic game with some new twists. And for those who ask, who the heck is Poochy, Poochy is a dog that appeared throughout the Yoshi franchise. He can be found in certain levels and serves as a safe platform as he can walk on dangerous terrain, such as spikes and lava. 

  If you wonder if you'd like this Yoshi game, the answer is yes, if you like the Super Mario games, you'll definitely like this one too. The good part is that there is a trial and free version of it on the Nintendo virtual shop for you to try it out before you buy it. 

  Before I finish this entry, I would like to inform you that the numbering in this list is in a timely order. The first game that came with my 2DS was the Mario Kart 7 and I want to say that I enjoy these games equally.

  Thank you for reading this post and I would gladly answer any questions you may have.
