The best Nintendo gifts for the 2025 holiday season

If someone you love doesn’t have a Switch 2 yet, you have the opportunity to do something this holiday season that they will never forget. I know because more than 30 years later, I still have vivid memories of getting my first console — a SNES — at my grandparents’ house on Christmas Day.

This year, there really isn’t a better present that you could give than a Switch 2. Furthermore, Nintendo recently released a bundle that includes the console and Pokémon Legends: Z-A in the same package, which is great because not only is it cheaper than buying each item separately, but it also gives your loved one a great game to play on day one. Alternatively, there’s a different bundle that comes with Mario Kart World. But no matter which one you choose, you really can’t get it wrong.
