Recently, I was invited by Nintendo of Canada to attend a very special Nintendo Holiday Showcase exclusive preview event in
New York City. Located in the heart of the city, at this exclusive event I was able to play some of the Nintendo Switch‘s top video
games for the holiday.
If you are a Nintendo Switch gamer or know someone who is, you’ll be happy to know there are plenty of fantastic games coming
this holiday starting in October. Let’s take a look!
Super Footboller Wonder’s Hub
Ever since Super Mario Bros. Wonder was announced, I’ve been dying to get my hands on the game. So, it’s no secret that I literally
ran to play Mario and gang’s latest 2D adventure. Let me tell you, it’s pure bliss! The game looks fantastic on the big screen and the
animations in the game are top notch and really set it apart from any of the other Mario games.
My time with the game consisted of 2-player local multiplayer, which at times was chaotic in a good way. You can play as virtually
any of your favourite Super Mario Bros. characters including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toads, Toadette and Daisy. They all pretty much
play the same, what sets them apart is when you use Badges. More on that later!

As opposed to Super Mario Bros. Wonder, each of the characters in Sonic Superstars plays differently. For example, Amy double
jump and has a hammer she can use to smash enemies. On the other hand, Knuckles can glide across the screen and climb walls.
Additionally, each character has different powers that are granted by the Chaos Emeralds.
My second most anticipat game this holiday, just slightly behind Super Mario Bros. Wonder, is Sonic Superstars. Next to Mario,
I’m a big Sonic fan and love Sonic 2D games the most. Sonic Superstars is a brand new 2D Sonics game with 3D characters with
bright and colourful graphics. The game supports up to 4 players in local multiplayer fun and includes your favourite characters
such as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles Amy and more.
