Simplify your shopping lists with my guide for Nintendo Switch owners (or soon to be owners) this season.
The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than getting the perfect gift for your loved ones. One of the best family consoles on the market right now is the Nintendo Switch, and there are plenty of goodies that can help improve this system, bit by bit. I have decided to take all my favorite accessories and other what-nots and put them in one place, to help my followers find inspiration for this holiday season.
Nintendo Switch
Obviously, the first item on the list must be the Switch itself. A bit on the costly side when it comes to gift giving, but also happens to be the perfect gift for any gamer that doesn’t already have one, or needs another. With an ever expanding library of awesome games, the Nintendo Switch is sure to be a hot item this year!

For those of you that prefer to play the Switch in handheld mode, this first item is for you. This grip is made to make holding on to the system just a bit more comfortable, which will certainly help to streamline the motions that can be hindered by handling this sometimes bulky console. This grip also comes with the added bonus of four thumbstick covers.

If you are into eSports, then these are the accessories for you. The recently released Mario Tennis Aces has been quite a joy to play, but it is made much more fun with the inclusion of joy con tennis rackets! While it may be exciting to play all your favorite racing games the old fashioned way, its always nice to mix it up a bit and throw in the challenge of taking advantage of the motion controls and attaching a steering wheel to your joy con.

The latest Nintendo Direct gave us some insight on the SNES games coming to Switch Online
Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will now have access to a variety of classic games from the classic console Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Not all of the games released were on our list, but we did see a few that have been part of the foundation for who we are as myPotatoGamers. There are definitely some super sweet classics that we are overjoyed to be able to access from this awesome modern console.
Super Mario Kart
When it comes to cute style racing games, Mario Kart always finishes first. With a wonderful assortment of characters from the Mario universe, Super Mario Kart started it all. With tracks as basic as the graphics, Super Mario Kart captured our imagination as to what racing games could be. No need for the dazzle-dazzle super charged craziness machines we drive in real life. All you need is a cute little cart and an even cuter driver.
Zelda: A Link To The Past
The Zelda series has hit us with some really great games over the years. But we must always remember our roots. LoZ: A Link to the Past was originally released in North America in November of 1991, then later ported to the Gameboy Advance in December of 2002. A prequel to the original titles, Link to the Past was one of the best selling games for the Super Nintendo, and it’s pretty obvious why. The cutesy graphics alone are enough to have us replaying this one for years to come.
Super Mario World
Of all of the Mario titles that we’ve seen, Super Mario World still holds a little place in our hearts. The good ole days of booting up the SNES to partake in the most grand adventures as Mario himself, with the help of many classic friends that have been longstanding heroes too many. Super Mario World was released in North America in August of 1991, and was also ported to the Gameboy Advance in 2002. Super Mario World also happens to be the best selling game for the Super Nintendo.
Kirby’s Dream Land 3
Kirby is definitely one of the cutest characters ever! He has a place in the Nintendo family for some time. That adorable pink ball of fluff has been there through thick and thin, sucking up bad guys and stealing their powers. Dream Land 3 was released in North America in 1997 and received mixed reviews from critics. But no matter how easy people thought the game was, it still etched out it’s own little place in our hearts.
Kirby’s Dream Course
Golf is a fun and relaxing past time that has had many video games themed around it. The cutest one possibly being Kirby’s Dream Course. Like every other golf game ever, the goal is to get the ball in the whole. Only in Kirby’s Dream Course, the ball is Kirby. Dodge obstacles and take aim to send Kirby to his home, the hole. Now we will have a chance to play this charming golf title again as it’s added to SNES list on Switch Online.
Super Puyo Puyo 2
Go back to you Puyo Puyo roots with Super Puyo Puyo 2. The popular Tetris-like game series has been making a big splash lately with the release of Puyo Puyo Champions. Super Puyo Puyo 2 takes us back to old school style in this ever-challenging puzzle game. Link up some blobs to get em poppin as Super Puyo Puyo 2 is available now!
For more information about the classic games coming to Nintendo Switch Online, you can check out the official Nintendo website. If you would like to take your nostalgia gaming to the next level, keep an eye out for the SNES controller coming soon.

In a recent Tweet from the Nintendo Company, it was revealed that Mario Tennis Aces will be available to play for free for a short duration. This popular Esports title was released a little over a year ago, and was pretty well received for its graphics and gameplay. Now, all Nintendo Switch Online members will have the chance to play the game for free from August 7th to August 13th. Try it out to see if you like it, then you will also be able to purchase the game game at a 30% discount until the 30th of August.
About Mario Tennis Aces
Aces is the most recent installment from Mario’s foray into the world of tennis. This epic Esports game implemented many new features into the series that have really boosted the franchise in the eyes of gamers. The game includes a kinda dark story wherein Luigi (and others) becomes possessed by an evil tennis racket, and Mario must best him in a game of Tennis to free Luigi form the grips of darkness. Classic Mario. If all this sounds fun to you, don’t miss the free trial and the other goodies offered through the Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
