The hot item for video game-loving families right now is Switch, Nintendo’s new hybrid console that connects to a TV but can also be unplugged and played anywhere—and by more than one kid at a time. It’s an excellent system. However, the hardware is so popular that it’s been hard to come by in stores. Should you happen to spy a Switch for sale, grab it before it disappears, lest you find yourself frantically scrambling around online, where you’ll likely pay a premium. If, on the other hand, your family already has its preferred console, then a couple of new games will be the key to holiday cheer. And this year, there’s plenty of age-appropriate fare to choose from.
