| Nintendo 2DS XL • Hey! PIKMIN • Miitopia |
| Description:
Nintendo has fun games for kids to enjoy, whether with friends after school or on a long ride on the school bus. New Nintendo 2DS XL is the newest addition to Nintendo's family of portable video game systems. New Nintendo 2DS XL is great for kids and those new to video games. Players use the touch screen to help Captain Olimar, a pint-sized spaceman and his strange but adorable little companions, Pikmin, explore a strange world in 2D. Players will use Pikmin to defeat hostile predators, solve puzzles and refuel Captain Olimar?s ship. Players must gather a team to fight evil in the world of Miitopia. Players can design Mii characters based on their favorite people and put them in the game (friends, brothers and sisters, mom and dad, favorite sports stars or musicians). You can also import Mii characters from some other Nintendo games. Players battle countless enemies as they venture through the kingdom to defeat the Dark Lord. |
